Kory, you did a great job with this. My fave item-the down feathers, of course (as I love anything to do with birds...can u tell?) Where did you get such a tiny vial from and does 35 have significance for you?
Its fun to find such good deals. You did a great job, I've been wanting to make one. I like the gold army man. I used to play with the green ones with my brother.
This is FANTASTIC! Let me tell you, some of the best boxes I have seen have come from yard sales and thrift stores - and even though the scrapbook stuff in them is pretty - it's the P.O.S. that are randomly placed together that look the absolute best, in my opinion!
That is a fabulous find! I think it's better to work with the less expensive materials because it frees your mind from the "I can't screw up- this cost 20 bucks!" fear. It's also good you found things- the box is more meaningful that way! I'm totally jealous by the way- the Dollar Tree in Queens, NY is never this fabulous!
Wow! first of all what an awesome find!!! I have an old printers tray that I thought about doing something with but I may have to go with yoru idea first. This is amazing...I love your pos...what a perfect idea to paint the army man! May have to lift that from you at some point and the lightbulb??? BRILLIANT! fave
I picked up this plain pine/wooden box at the Dollar Tree. I'd been wanting to play with the Configurations box from Tim Holtz, but was afraid to spend the money and mess the thing up- so when I found these at Dollar Tree- I picked up an armload of them! It's much much smaller than the Configurations boxes- but perfect for a first attempt. And I had lots of fun painting and sanding and making the wood look all beaten up- then I just searched my house for any random P.O.S. to put into the box. See the glass vial? Inside are down feathers I ever so carefully pulled out of a cushion on the couch! Talk about a carefully collected specimen! The army man, I painted gold. I thought it made him look more bronze statue and less green plastic. In the bottom right corner, that's a Christmas tree lightbuld, standing up in the middle of two washers.
