It was commissioned by Kieron who, because it was for his Valentine, played a very active role in the design and making of it.'K' was 11 years old and over a period of weeks he would arrive at my house, after football, covered in mud.
He patiently learnt how to make 3D flowers, tint and glitter them, how to construct a box and how to stamp and emboss. He never tired or complained.
It was finally finished, just in time, on February 13th 2008 and 'K' carried it home in his 'Kit Bag'.
His Mum tells me that there were nervous mutterings as to how it would be presented the following day (without losing his 'Street Cred').
As requested, there was a hidden tag - with a secret message.I don't know what that message was and I think there are only two people in the world who do.
Long Live Romance!
The tag was hidden in the box lid. Pull the correct ribbon and the tag pops out!Here's how we made the flowers:
The colours are different but the construction is the same
