Exploding Box - India
This box was commissioned by Mark, for his wife Kate. He was quite clear that her passion was travel and especially India.

I came across your blog today via the crafty Blog site and am stunned by how beautiful all your boxes are. I'm not surprised that you call them magic!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep returning to see how to do all the various aspects of constructing these boxes. I've only made one exploding box, but that was much more traditional. Yours are SO opulent!
Wonderful!

OMGosh (jaw hitting the floor - grin)! This is so beautiful, Elaine!! I love the colors, the windows, and that beautiful background stamp that you made yourself. Each of these beauties is a work of art!
ReplyDeleteI am in awe! Your boxes are stunning!! My favorite is this India one, the colours are amazing. But every single one of them is a work of art! I so would love to try making one of these!! I don't know that I have the patience that you do though!! I can't wait to see what you make next!!

I came across your blog via SCS challenge to make the origami box. I'm so glad I randomly chose yours to look at. I love boxes of all types. Yours are simply mind numbingly beautiful. I subscribed right away. Can't wait to see what else you make. GREAT work. I, too, would like to know how you made your own background stamp. It's a beautiful design.
