Box top and sides feature border and ruffle lace in ecru and brown tones.
White box top replaced with patterned cardstock. Gold medallion is German Scrap.

Gorgeous chiffon pumpkin-toned flowers with pearl centers.

Love the satin edging on this organza ribbon bow...

The Stationery Box was a flat white box...to give it extra height so I could add a gathered lace ruffle, I added these metal corner legs.

DECORATIVE SILK AND VELVET WALL HANGINGS




I have always loved to sew garments, home dec, and craft items. These silk and velvet wall hangings are fun to create. I love all things vintage and the silk and velvet trimmed with tea-dyed doilies, fit the bill. I also like to use satins and fine linens. Embellishments are wee dried flower clusters with mini silk roses. On some I have used pieces of jewelry. The ideas for these are endless and they make wonderful gifts. I hope you enjoy them.

DECORATIVE WOODEN TRINKET BOX

PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGES FOR DETAILED VIEW



I love creating mixed media art projects. I created this box art using a little wooden box from Michael's. I applied a coat of Gesso and then a coat of white acrylic paint inside and out. I used gel medium to apply a music background on the top of the box. The triangle sides were embellished with decorative tape in black and white with French writing (Tim Holtz). I applied cotton lace trim around the sides of the box lid. Tip: Apply vellum tape (or your choice of double sided tape) to your lace or ribbon trims prior to using them, to give a more professional look when applying. It is much easier to work with this way as well. The image I selected for this altered box is one from Paper Whimsey. I have framed it with a frame from Martha Stewart and embellished with pink paper roses and glittered hearts. Hope you like it. Hugs, Gayle.

HAND-CRAFTED BOX ART BY GAYLE





I am always drawn to buying or creating boxes...all types of boxes for trinkets, hats, and general use. I created this set of boxes from a set of paper mache boxes I purchased at Michaels. I have used a French theme, covering the boxes, inside and out, with pages from a vintage French book about art. I apologize for not taking photos of the insides of the boxes but I took care to make sure the inside was treated equally with the outside. I embellished the boxes with cotton lace in an ecru shade, the flowers are velvet with pearl centers. the gold embellishments were painted grunge and the black trim are transparencies that I created from stamped images. Hope you like them.

I am sharing my box art at the following link spots:
