NEW Glass Vials & Mini Cigar Box Art
Filed under Collage Sheets, Kristin Batsel, Matchbox Cabinet Kit, Nichola Battilana, Shrines
A big group of new glass bottles with corks! Each is at a good price, too.
Both of the featured artworks today are made using mini cigar boxes AND bottles… and these 5 new ones are a good match for the sizes/shapes in the first project below.
All these bottles (plus more new items below AND the supply lists from both art projects) are in today’s sale!
Psst… there are TWO sale groups… more info below!
Fairy Apothecary by Nichola Battilana
Oooo! Not only a fabulous (and fabulously busy) little shadowbox (note: that clever Nichola left the lid off the cigar box, stood it on end and used it as a shadowbox), and a collage sheet, made by Nichola, with all the sweet labels for the bottles, but… Nichola also made a video tutorial! She explains “recreating the look of authentic old glass. It’s not over the top grungy… but it absolutely replicates the appearance fairly accurately.”
Here’s Nichola’s supply list with even more bottles (part of today’s sale).
Note the Small Metal Box Feet – Tree Bark below: back in stock and the perfect tiny size to fit that cigar box that’s only 1″ deep!
Lucky Stars by Kristin Batsel
Kristin made this charming Lucky Stars project with a chipboard Matchbox Cabinet (and bunches of stars)!
Did you ever wish upon a star, or thank your lucky stars? Well, then you’re going to want to meet this little pixie, who sits up near the moon and collects those stars, making them available to those of us who need them.
I love everything about this star-filled little shadowbox, from the teeny 3mm Gold Stars & Flat-Back Gold Star Studs at the top to the Bronze Pentagram Charm hanging from the bottom!
There are even stars in the “Twinkle Twinkle” box from the Mini Cigar Box Set (bottom shelf of the shrine plus see the photo below).
Here’s a link to Kristin’s supply list, and stop by her blog to read more about this pixie and see more photos (and some tips about using sticky foam to pull the back wall of the top floor of the cabinet forward).
More New Supplies
Nice! More stars, more pentagram charms, another cigar box…. and 2 more collage sheets from Nichola! Plus see those adorable needle-felted bees she made with the wings in the This & That Mixed Wings! Check that collage sheet page (or the related “all-bee-wings” sheet) for more info.
