ALTERED CABINET














I made this for Maureen and gave it to her as a belated birthday present whilst we were away.
The cabinet has been lined with papers, painted, crackle glazed and then distressed and the nameplate image (courtesy of the Graphics Fairy) gel transferred onto the front. Inside is a collection of vintage sewing ephemera. I have also used the Tim Holtz dress form die and made up a little dress from lace and pearl seeds to hang on top.
