These 2 boxes are made with pictures of paintings made by my Dutch friend Joke. Bringing these colorful pictures together as a mosaic around the corners of a box is one of the things I like to do most.
This heap of boxes is made during workshops I gave in Saigon. It is a mixture of different levels of box-making: beginners, advanced, with paper, fabric, glass top and picture collage.
Right now all my materials are in storage and I am so much looking forward to unpacking them all when we move to Sao Paulo, somewhere in October. Even more so after visiting a another box making lady here in The Hague. She makes beautiful boxes, some of those are for an on-line shop: http://kunstenvliegwerk.nl (click on the URL). She uses printed copies of antique samplers, simply beautiful.
