As you have no doubt surmised from my blog, I spend much of my free time working on my house. What, you might ask, did I do with my time before I had a house? For one, I decorated boxes. Lots of boxes. I have a weakness for boxes. They appeal to my practical nature. I love boxes. :)
But we're not here to talk about boxes. We're here to look at red & black!

| box with handle; painted and begemmed |
 |
| (the red smear-looking marks are reflections from the gems) |
 |
| the center piece was an oh-so-spooky "Gothic Vampire" necklace from a costume shop |
 |
| not much black visible on this one :/ |
 |
| a bit of red on the outside... |
 |
| and much more on the inside |
Nicely done! I love the little suprise on the inside of the last one.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The sun box had decoupage on the inside as well, but I didn't photograph it before I gave away the box.
DeleteCool boxes:)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHow fab! I also love decorating little boxes - they're great projects bec. they don't have to take too much time or materials. And, as you said, they're practical. Plus they can make good gifts or enclosures for gifts.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And they don't require much space, either. This was a definite plus when I was in a small apartment. I gave most of mine as gifts.
Deletelove the first box - you could even use it as a gothy handbag/purse.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The person to whom I gave the box did use it as a purse. :)
DeleteThe first box is wearing a necklace! I adore it. But the second box is my favorite. Cheesy vampire pendants were made for box embellishing.
ReplyDeleteI think I've asked you this before, but are you a Virgo by any chance? Because random box obsessions seem very Virgo-esque. I'm not saying this based on personal experience or anything.... ;)
I like the second box as well. It's the only one I kept for myself.
DeleteI'm an Aquarius, but my moon sign is Virgo. I definitely have some Virgo-esque tendencies. :)
I like the first box best, with the heart-shaped handle. All very pretty :)
