Create matchbox shrine
by aisling d'art ©2001 - 2006
By the time I started this shrine, I was pondering ways to seriously deconstruct matchboxes.
This shrine was made with a cut-up-and-reconstructed inside of a matchbox. I lined it with origami paper, attached a miniature Tarot card and a small irridescent bead like a crystal ball.
On the outside of the matchbox, I blued a bit of gold ribbon, some more origami paper, and I made my signature antennae with gold wire and beads.
I glued the matchbox to a pair of stamped wings that were reinforced with wire so they bend like real wings.
(I use this wing stamp often. It's from Stampers Anonymous.)
Then I attached this whole thing to a small tag, stamped with the word "CREATE" (Antique Alphabet Set by Personal Stamp Exchange).
I added beads to the tag string, and glued a miniature Artfest 2001 logo to the back of the tag.
