I found a beautiful Japanese tea box at a thrift store and transformed it into one of my corvid boxes. A corvid box, because it's made by a Raven, but it's ment for anyone who enjoys curio treasures.
One of my biggest corvid boxes...
The bottom of the box has been decorated too. I thought I was basically finished with this piece, but how many matchboxes I needed. I need to make 6 more look like this:
Haven't decided if the other 6 matchbox sleaves will use sheet music or different paper...but I'm leaning towards variety...
And some close up glamor shots...
Everything is ment to picked up and interacted with...
Shape, color, texture all play into the intention behind it's creation, and of course lots of shines...
I had a different arrangement and assort of items at first, but took everything out to decorate the interior of the tea box. I think my second arrangement came out even better. 馃枻馃崉馃悰
Some clip-on earrings I made a little while ago. I bought the clip-on parts online and added my own items to them: some dinosaurs, a spider, a couple of acorns and some bird cage charms that can open and close.聽I also got a heart-shaped pendant I got from a thrift store recently.聽
I have a few more earring backs to use, I鈥檝e got some regular earrings to convert and I鈥檓 working on some little jar earrings as well.聽
I do sometimes wish I could just look totally anime. Fantasy anime protagonist dudes always have the best coats. So many unnecessary buckles and belts and things. It鈥檚 masculine opulence, fantastic.
