Poinsettia Posy

For this box, I made flowers (see the "Pretty Pegs" tutorial on Art Angelix) in one size only.

I covered an oval papier mache box with paper, added two kinds of ribbons as a lid trim, and affixed twelve little flowers to the lid.

The bottom of the box is decorated with a paper trim that I discovered serendipitously while trying out a new snowflake punch. I wasn't happy with the snowflakes, but I found a wonderful use for the punch. I'll show you that tomorrow, after I've taken photos of the steps involved.

I has one flower over, so I stuck it to the side of the box as a focal point.

The box will be popped into one of the cartons I'm sending out this week.

Received from Barbara St. Jacques

Yesterday my mailman delivered a package from Barbara in Ludlow, USA, that was covered on the outside with the stamped message "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" (Picasso). That certainly proved true of Barbara's sea-themed carton and its contents.

The first item I drew from the box was a deep purple cloth decorated with silver butterflies. Unfortunately, the photo only offers a hint of them. Then emerged a box of beads, a beautifully made mini journal, stickers, magnets, felt embellishments, and the most wonderful pair of tiny, hand sewn and embroidered felt shoes I've ever held in my hands.

Thank you very much indeed, Barbara!
