SATURDAY WORKOUT - MATCHBOX ART


Created with Matchboxes and collage images from TEN TWO STUDIOS
Matchboxes painted inside and out with acrylic paints
Embellished with German Scrap, Metal picture frames, gemstones and gemstone brads.
Although my matchboxes were photo'd closed, each holds a miniature deck of playing cards.
