The high seas

This, and some of my other Matchbox creations will be for sale at our Thelma & Louise stall at Wonderhill market this Sunday, 12 February, alongside lots of other handmade items and vintage goodies. Find out more here. Hope to see you there!

Bonjour

The theme for day five of the Matchbox challenge is 'the French one' and for some reason I really struggled with the theme today. I tried all kinds of things, but ended up creating this which just felt 'right' - albeit not very French! The key is really special to me, and sort of tied into my heart, so it's a personal little creation that I'll treasure.

Chantilly lace

 

Day four of the Matchbox challenge, today's theme is 'Lace'. 

I used a long description of different kinds of lace and how they're made then played around with the words onscreen before printing them onto brown wrap and covered the matchbox with it. I decided this box would house my diminishing collection of brown paper hearts, which happen to be very precious to me. The box is also tied with some lace Louise gave to me which I love.

Many happy returns

Day three of the Matchbox Challenge, the theme was 'The birthday one'. I used a big matchbox and wrapped it like a present, and put some miniature birthday bunting and a little note inside.
