Now here is something a little different! I've been working on a series of hand made bespoke treasure boxes based on National Trust houses, personalities etc. My first one is based around the writer Thomas Hardy, the area in which he lived and wrote his masterpieces and the general feel of his life. Inside is a collection of original prints, glass bottles with old keys, buttons etc, vintage photographs of Thomas Hardy, my own paintings of his studio and portrait, pen drawings of his house and area, greenwood tree, etc, hand made organic cotton bags, hand printed with my etched feather design, full of bits and pieces picked up around his home when i went to visit! Miniature oil lamp (i'm sure i've missed some things!) All wrapped in original khadi handmade tissue paper and sealed with wax in a wooden box covered with thick gauge printed bird paper, with a handmade tag and vintage map paper covered inside!
Wow.... so now you can see why i've been away for a while!!!
Hope you like it!
