Spring Is in the Air
I did a little Spring Art Swap with a couple of friends. Since they both received their packages, I can share the projects I made.
I decorated a little trinket box using spring colored papers, trims, flowers, and findings. I inserted a pretty vintage image in the box lid's window, and also decorated the inside of the box. This is Diana's box.

I made a ribbon bookmark for each and a custom jewelry piece. For Diana, I made a pair of sterling and glass bead earrings that are just right for spring.
I decorated Julie's box in a similar way.
I tucked a pretty soldered pendant inside (since her ears aren't pierced).
And, it's reversible. I added an antique glass button to the top. Now I want one! I'll have to get busy and make some more.

These boxes are breathtaking! I love mine and the pendant is absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you so so much!! Hugs!
And I thought I was the only female in MN without her ears peirced!!! I knew I liked that girl!
Love your swap items Erica. I love all that you do... How on earth do you find the time? Wow, I can't even get my kids fed lately. I just realized that once again, I put them to bed without making a real dinner. Good thing I taught them to pour a bowl of cereal at an early age...
Hope you have those plane tickets bought! MN in the summer is way more beautiful than the last time you were here!
take care,
Kate
