Been having some fun with zentangles this weekend. These are really relaxing and fun to work on. I love working within the different shapes and on different surfaces.

BOXES!
I though it would be fun to show a few of the steps it takes to build and finish one of my boxes. Above; boxes that have been wrapped in my hand painted papers are being pressed between marble tiles and antique irons.
Tops are carefully chosen for each box, matching my papers.
Some of the tools of the trade.
Each lid needs to be clamped while the glue dries. All book board, glue, and paper used in the building of my boxes are archival quality and acid free.
The end product! Above is a rich maroon, purple and orange box with a felted ball top.
Dimensions: 3x5x3
A little jewel toned box with over sized hollow purple glass top.
Dimensions: 1.5x1.5x1.5
This box reminds me of spring! The top was a gift from a friend; a clear glass ball with green highlights. Dimensions: 1.5x1.5x1.5

| I made this collage at a watercolor class with Nan Rumpf at the Danforth Museum. We enlarged the collage and then created watercolor paintings of the collage. Very different work for me. FUN! |

So now that I have completed my first two posts I wanted to show everyone a little of what I enjoy creating. Above are earrings and necklace punched from books with paste paper end papers.
These are folded books that were part of the Natick Artist Open Studios 2011 Show - Theme: TEN
Rainbow boxes created with my own paste papers and felted knobs.
