Birds, Cats & Dogs

This project was to make a matching pair of altered matchboxes.


. I used Brenda Walton's Maison paper,
elements from K & Company,
& metal animal charms.


The boxes were covered in the patterned paper.

For the drawer pulls, I used Hitch Fasteners by Tim Holtz
& miniature tassels, as a decorative feature.


I added definitions torn from an old English dictionary,
aged with Distress Ink (brushed corduroy).


I added brown ric-rac ribbon & two metal charms inside each box.



My thanks to
Brenda - such inspiring papers
