What is Christobel doing?

I have accumulated an inviting pile of old cigar boxes, which is waiting to be turned into a selection of treasure boxes.

but in the meantime I have been experimenting with a combination of felt, vintage leather and my old buttons....

and making some graduated paper boats which I am going to string together....

as well as some new gift tags....

Made on the Left will be having its first market for 2012 on 29 July in the State Theatre, Northbridge, which should be a terrific venue.  I hope to have a stall there, so I need to keep busy making things.

Treasure Boxes

I have been on the hunt for old cigar boxes in order to make more tiny cabinets for the Unwrapped Market.  Some of the ones I found still had their lids attached so I decided to make them into treasure boxes instead of tiny cabinets.
