I use recycled cigar boxes for the designed boxes. Once painted, I add layers of paper, wire, and other embellishments. These little "treasure" boxes could be used to store photos, jewelry, recipes and so much more. I make other baubles like trinkets, wired critters and painted canvases in a similar fashion. All designs are unique, but can be duplicated. If you see something on my site that you'd like to have or you are inspired with an idea of your own...let me know!
