Paris Box

Sharing my crazy quilted box. It was my first attempt at covering a box. I must admit the gluing part was a bit tedious. I enjoyed all the stitching of course.
Omaha Retreat with Lisa Caryl was the artist for this idea. The techniques learned, and many of the supplies were from her. She had much to offer with her wonderful ability to teach and share.
Some of the techniques that were new to me, that I placed on this box were...
the sequin flower
origami flowers
basket charm filled with beads
The box itself... I do not believed I would of tried without all her tips.
It was fun seeing the different members in the class arrangements with her many trims and beads she gave us that day. Including the box and fabric trims.
Hope more of you out there, share your boxes, when they are completed.
Thanks Lisa... It was fun.
