I covered a slim box with the endpapers from a vintage book and layered on some of the old print from the pages. Then I cut an old photo apart and glued one part of the image to the inside of the box base and the other behind a microscope slide. Although it looked lovely and vintage, I wanted something to make the piece pop a little, so I added the pink accents, a couple of golden snowflakes, and a wooden bingo tile. These little beauties will, like so much of what I'm making at the moment, find their way into an Art In A Carton box.
I'm in the best years of my life, in what is usually called "midlife".
I'm English, and I live in the north of Germany, and I sometimes still wonder how I got here from there.
One of the things I used to hear often as a kid was that I had too much imagination. That tickles me pink when I think about it now, because I've lived off my imagination and my wits for most of my life, and I bet I have more fun and better toys that most of the other kids from way back then, these days.
