Box collage/assemblage 200 x 200mm.

Collage is created on and within a recycled old cosmetics box in metallic green, decorated with elements of Babycham packaging (the happiest drink in the world!) and handmade paper, embellished with ribbons and diamante.

Inside is a cute, kitsch, and slightly sinister diorama consisiting of charms, cake decorations, beads, buttons, sequins, gems, cookie fortunes and an absinthe matchbox, on a pretty, metallic-flecked hand made paper background. What it all means is open to interpretation, in a dream-like manner.

I love the idea of boxes, and how they can equally conceal delights or horrors inside.

Main colours are green and lilac.

Pasted inside the box lid is a shabby-chic, wrinkled print of butterflies (one of my favourtite themes) and blossom -oriental in feel to tie in with the cookie fortunes.

As all my pieces are one-offs, and therefore unreplaceable, all purchases will be mailed first class recorded delivery, requiring a signature to ensure safe arrival.

All items will be carefully packaged to protect their fragile nature.
