Tyvek
I glued some cotton material on to card then stitched on some organza and my image - I then added the tyvek - again by stitching it on. I added heat via my heat gun which shrivelled up the organza and the tyvek revealing my image

Trip to Belgium - stash
These are the fantastic cigar boxes that a friend who has a little tobacconist in Brugge saved for me - can't wait to get altering them !!!!
This is the rest of my stash - art materials were very reasonably priced - George bought me the easel - I got artist quality W/N tubes and Van Gogh half pans - the beer mats fell into my bag in various pubs :):) - love the manequin - the shells were used to serve us with seafood - the very kind waitress washed them for me - the little truck was only 1 euro !!! love the little ceramic dishes which will be great for making washes

Friendship
I put some colour on to the base of my canvas then covered it in Beeswax - I thne added some dressmakers pattern tissue. Next came the images - Thanks Sam - I put an image in the name plate and covered with glossy accents and when dry attached with brads. I put a layer of modpodge on the hinge and then inked it I heated it until the glue bubbled to creat texture. I than put another coat of beeswax all over. To finish it off I added the Tape - 7 gypsies and the Letters Tim Holtz Salvage stickers.
I'm quite pleased with the result

Tuesday Taggers - Upcycled
This is the box I picked up at the car boot sale - I scraped off the paint - rubbed it down and added firstly a coat of black Gesso then a coat of Copper Acrylic - before it was dry I sprayed on Red Crackle Paint
And this is how it finished after I embellished it
A closer look at the crackle
And the top
And for those who like to have a look - this is what I put inside
