This is another little project completed on a rainy day, an altered Art Deco silver plated cigarette case, well tarnished, but then some of you gals quite like the tarnish, don't ya?
The tricky thing about altering this cigarette case was the thinness of it, there wasn't much room for 3D stuff, but I managed to get a couple of tiny frozen Charlottes in -
Still got itchy fingers, and as it is still chucking it down out there, I am just going to carry on with the crafting. I promise, as soon as the weather and LIGHT improves, I'll get on with the brocante finds!

Oh, Liz,
You are so clever, the cigarette case looks aged and well used, but nonchalant... and when opened it looks as if it has been protecting a beautiful fairy land, full of wonder, beauty and surprise! It is so sweet inside, I love the Stolen Manchild! The poem is such fun and your embellishments are so pretty! I love the bling around the poem. and the connected rhinestones....is that from a necklace? it is just gorgeously fun. My daughters would have LOVED to have something like this to pretend with... *in a whispered voice...."a hidden fairyland for only you and I to share!".... You are so creative....you are amazing and such fun!

I don't like shopping when the weather is so gloomy either. BUT this little treasure sure turned out nice. I need to get some Frozen Charolette's. Great color. Have a fun weekend
How cute is that!!! A really surprise when you open it.
Hugs

Have a lovely weekend!

This is the sweetest fairy land, and forest. Playful, and lovely ,filled with the kindest fairies, and most lovely butterflyes. The poem is so sweet and lined with those beautiful "diamonds" - what a wonderful fairytale in a beautiful box.
My dear Liz ,thankyou for your call, and great conversation.
Much love, Dorthe
You are amazing! That is very detailed work you've created, Liz.
Oh, do I love it.
Liz - this is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous! You are very talented. A great way to use a vintage cigarette case. The way you combined the lace and the string of rhinestones on the left side gave me more ideas for the fabric collages I'm making for an upcoming craft sale. I know, I need to take photos and post on my blog. Maybe I'll do that today and get some feedback. I might try to sell them in my Etsy shop. Right now, there's zero, zip, nothing for sale in my Etsy shop. I best get on that if I want any Christmas money.
Keep up the great work.
