You have outdone yourself yet again! GORGEOUS!!! The texture you created on the lid is amazing and made for a perfect backdrop for your fabulous butterflies!
I've always liked bees and butterflies (so long as they aren't ACTUALLY fluttering around my head) and I LOVE this tin! It's like a vintage display where you could use that book to look up the species that are shown and learn about them! It makes me think of an old entomologists (person who studies insects) or lepidopterists (person who studies butterflies & moths) office!
The top of this is just so fun to touch! Is that weird? Seriously though, when I first opened the package I had to keep touching it! This really is a FANTASTIC piece of art, I really LOVE it so much! Thank you, Pam, for such a wonderful work of art!!
Wow, wow, and WOW!!! I love how this turned out, just amazing!!! Love the little books, just darling! Love the beehive bg pps, perfect!!! Love all the botanical details!!!
I made this altered tin for Dawna's mixed media swap. My parter was CJ. I made the top using texture paste through a stencil and then embossing the entire cover with 3 layers of bees wax embossing powder. The result was a thick smooth, waxy looking surface. Thanks to Carri for the tip on the embossing powder. She used it on a card she sent to me a few months back and I ordered some right away. I painted and distressed the tin with layers of acrylic paint and hinged the top to the bottom. I fussy cut the butterflies from G45 Nature Sketchbook Collection and double embossed them with clear or beeswax. I did the same for the butterflies on the inside cut from Olde Curiosity Shoppe. I made the small fake book on the inside with paper from the g45 Botanicabella collection, chipboard, and cut pieces from old book pages. Love the way this tiny book turned out. I have already made a few more for other projects. The little vial once held old watch parts.
