One of my fav things to do is to have a woodland walk and I wanted to capture all the textures and earthiness in a piece of art. I have used Gary Reef eggshell and foil techniques on this box. Instead of eggshells I used crushed shells and tea leaves and glued it all on with strong pva glue and used aluminum tape for the sides.
I really like the way this box has turned out with all the different textures on it..it is quite hard to photograph so I have created this little collage using picasa to show detail. The theme over at Kristens summer of colour blog is green this week so be sure to check out all the other entries too.
