tiny makings...

:: altered matchboxes ::
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
VINCENT VAN GOGH 
Over a delightful afternoon. An altered matchbox project.  
As I assembled each one... I put thought into, what I perceived to find important,
 to fill my "happy" little homes.
materials used for this project:
mini matchbox - acrylic paint - scrap papers
tacky glue - embellishments 
It is very interesting to see what we value within our life, our home. 
enjoy.

    April, these are amazing little works of art! I volunteered to do something creative with a MASSIVE vintage match collection that belongs to my boss. If there are any leftover, I'm crafting some little houses.

    Awesome matchboxes, April. I LOVE the little windows in the 'doors'(the blue one is my absolute favourite).
