'Rose to the Occasion' collaged trinket box

Description

110 x 110mm square, 60mm deep wooden trinket box, backed in rose designs which caught my eye from a paper bag, layered with handmade paper, and embellished with a conglomeration of collected and collaged delights -a mad March hare brooch, a pointing finger, a key to who-knows-where, gems, beads, buttons, red lace, and a gumball charm gun hung with a CND pendant -quite contrary.

A box every bit as precious as the treasures one would keep within.

The hare, the roses and the striped limbs, give a nod to 'Alice's Adventures...', and the overall effect is the sweet and sinister contrast I continually revisit.

Box is decorated inside and out. The lid lifts and lowers on tiny brass-effect hinges and fixes shut with a magnetic clasp.

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.

Inspiration

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the catacombs, deep, dark secrets.
