I had a bit of a tussle to get this car stuck in - it just refused to stop rolling its little wheels.
I just love that light! That's what made me do my ooh's and aah's as soon as I walked in the room and saw it in Tims box. Lynne (aka Cheryl Cole) assured me I was going to get one for mine (love Cheryl). Oh the excitement!
I really liked the effect of these grungeboard letters on the tiles - they look just like printers blocks, and I was pleased that my bottle top was "Root Beer" because Chas enjoyed that when we were in America so I was sure he would like the link he had to my configuration box.
I used my piece of wire netting rolled up in this box along with one of the light bulbs I just had to buy.
Think this was the first box I worked on and I really enjoyed doing it. The little pearls did a bit of a roll about but I managed to get them in the bottles - it pretty much fell into place quite easily and stayed the same throughout.
As I said before, I just love this birdcage. I have seen them somewhere on the internet but certainly not in the UK and what a shame we have just got back from America. Not to worry. Loved the tiny cotton reel and coat hanger and was thrilled when the addition of the buttons I had at home looked ok.
This is the main box and I removed the birdcage and put the pearl in instead. This was because I wanted to feature my badge which I had worn (thanks Mark) for the day - to me it was something that would remind everyone of where I had done this artwork.
The label is from one of Tim's dictionary pages and features the plant 'sarsaparilla' - I quite liked the idea of using that rather than the label which I wanted to use on another bottle. Just realised that you can't see the chain with the letter "N" on - sorry.
Now, just to prove that the back is decorated as well, here it is - and what is that you spy? Yes, I got it signed by Tim Holtz himself. Something to treasure.
