Recently I joined in a swap on Neil's blog where you had a matchbox (either size/choice yours) which you decorated and filled with "things" to show the recipient a bit about you. Well, maybe it is the dizzy blonde in me that did it but I chose to decorate and fill the small matchbox. I can upload it now as I think the recipient (who has not a clue who I am) has no link to my blog and should have received it.
One thing I like is handbags. I collect them like other women collect shoes. So turning my matchbox into a handbag seemed the sensible thing to do (a clue to me). I like working with metal so the front piece was copper and I love art nouveau, hence the design. The remainder of the handbag was coloured using my favourite - Distress Inks!
The back had labels on a) because I like to Travel, b) because I like Vintage (Past) and c) because I value Friendships.
Inside were further clues about me
A cat printed on a piece of material (I like cats - like dogs too), a mini domino book (used to be well known for my domino stamping), a dumfing (just got into this) kite bookmark, a polymer clay (love clay) bead, a Shrink Plastic jigsaw piece, some Friendly Plastic (love these medias), cogs (love Steampunk), a clockface charm (love "Time" as a theme), a glass bottle with a message inside (lots of bits written on hand decorated paper about me), hearts to signify my health problem at the moment and a smiley face because Von said I had to include one. Phew!
A bit of a struggle to get everything in as it was just about chock-a-block. Wonder what other peeps have done?
