Hello, how are you? We are here not doing a lot my son the Chef with a broken heel is once again king of the kitchen. Frankly if he wants to eat home cooked food he has no choice as I don't bother about it and actually the "kitchen" is somewhere for me to play with silver solder or glass fusing or similar crafts that need to be near water or a microwave. Not doing a lot of that lately as he now has a card table set up in the kitchen with a straight back chair so he can chop and prepare sitting down.
This means that I have to confine myself to my craft room! but hay I do get to eat some very nice food.
My little offering today is a converted wooden camembert box. I do like a bit of camembert and these round boxes are great to up-cycle.

Lots of goodies and layering here with wooden elements, paper flowers, lace, tissue tape and of course the blue felt butterfly. All things that have been in my stash forever. Once assemble and the glue was dry the piece was blasted all over with various blue Glimmer Mist sprays. Once again it had to be allowed to dry then Indigo Blu Snow White metallic paint stroked over the top. There were a couple of spots of the lid that had not taken the colour so a few small flowers have been added.
I just love messy inky projects like this but have to be in the right place to make them work. This was a good day's work.

You looked like you had fun with this one Zoe. It is a work of art, so textural and the tones of the blues look so pretty along with the pop of green x. Great recycling too x. Thanks for sharing the photo of the 'Chef' x.
