Take Out Box

Thinking out side the Take out Box

This humble container is elevated to art worthy of praise.

The box is made from a collage process of fabric and paper called: cotton/parchment.

The inside is lined with fabric.

The handle is made of wire and beads and bits of old costume jewelry.

The box is embellished with fish that are made separately from a second method called "tulle trap". Several layers of painted interfacing, tulle, yarn and ribbon are stitched together to make a sheet.

"Surprise package" The contents: objets d'art-are kept under wraps.....you must take the class to find out what is placed inside!

Take a look in the galleries many fine pieces are available for your collection.
