Yes thats right a new challenge has started over at ANYTHING BUT A CARD. The theme is OPEN THEME - that means it is anything goes.
I altered an old box base. On the outside I covered with old serviette to give it the wrinkled look. I then painted it and used inka gold over the top. I fixed braid to the top as the hanger bit and also around the rim of box I lined the inside with black velvet from an old dress I used to be able to fit into lol!
I had bought an old cheap looking clay mask from a car boot sale. I painted it and then decorated it using broken jewellery, handmade flowers for the eyes and feathers.
I then stuck the mask to the lining and voila a Hanging box frame.

I must apologise for all the pictures but could not make up my mind on the ones to use for this post.
Why not head on over to ANYTHING BUT A CARD and join in with the OPEN THEME challenge this month. Happy crafting to you all.
Hugz and love always

We so appreciate you're sharing your project & creativity at 613 Ave C Elaine! This project is absolutely ooooooooh-sum! Everywhere I looked there was something else to inspect and admire. I so wish I could get my hands on it so I could turn it around and around and look at all the angles! FUN-Fun-Fun!
