Oh I just luv Configuration boxes! They're dimensional shadow boxes which are inakable, paintable, collagable and best of all configurable.
I still remembered how disappointed I was when I had to miss the Masterclass by Tim Holtz in UK last Feb 2011 when I actually was lucky enough to get hold of the ticket (demand for tickets was more than supply). And....it was during this special class that Tim was teaching the techniques of making Configuration box. Not to despair if there's a will there's a way.......to learn the techniques. And I did.
Knowing me as soon as i got hold of the box, I could not wait to get my hands on it and to start creating.
I have done it and wish to share.......
Look how fun to store your tiny collectibles/ treasures inside these small boxes.
Prior to placing all the lil things,each box is covered with pattern papers. For the seams between each inner box it is covered with Tim's tissue tape to bind all boxes together. To make the box stand upright, I have the dimensional elements - the Foundation feet, cool yes?
Can you see my tinnie winnie Japanese doll and the spool that i made recently?
I like the Buddha image behind, I had it made from alluminium (metal art piece) while the 3-D figure is moulded out from dough (dough art)
As always my fascination for shoes even tho how big or tiny they are, LOL!
Lil doll house and a glass covered with utee - 'Home Sweet Home"
Let's gamble and drink.....
Bottles and pearls, they are my all time faves!
You can have a special theme for the configuration box and Iam now thinking of my next box.......all about flowers or birds or............
