This weekend I turned a simple little balsa
wood box into this sweet trinket box for us here at Green
Tara...
I was dying to see how well the banana fibre
papers would go used like tissue for covering items... it was so easy to work
with! I adore the fibres showing through, giving it such wonderful texture. I
used Inkssentials Glue'n'Seal to adhere the banana fibre paper and while still
wet applied some Tim Holtz stains and blended them through with more
Glue'n'Seal.
I cut up some of the Silver Stems to pop into the ribbon bow, they add such a
delicate sparkle to everything
I love the little metal embellishments Green
Tara stock, they are so easily transformed if the silver isn't working for your
project. Just give them a thin coat of acrylic paint or gesso, then when dry
add another coat and then add some stains for more colour.
The Silk Flowers with Swarovski Crystals have
become a favourite of mine, they are simply so sweet with that gorgeous sparkly
center.

Your idea for a mag clamp is intriguing, I've never worked with magnets before, other then grade school science experiments. I'm open for any suggestions.
