Anne we have been waiting to receive your address, so we can ship that gorgeous
2011 ArtBra Calendar to you!
Featured below is a collection of cigar boxes I designed using our Fusible Vintage Images, silk ribbon, beads and polymer cabs that I make here at the studio. I lightly pad the lid with batting and then place the finished design, which is created on silk doupioni on top of the batting. I use a matching trim around the lid of the box.
I glue Vellux inside the lid. This allows for beading with the lid open and the beads will stay in place. The cigar boxes are deep enough to hold beads, stitching supplies, etc., but mostly they are used as display pieces in my friends studios.

Lovely boxes - and I agree, they would be for display only. I would hate to get them dirty!!
Oh Vickie Thank you so much. I emailed your private email with my address. I am so excited to receive the calender!!!! Thanks again for the give away:)

They are different and very nice. I would find it hard to spoil them by using every day. The effect of beads and embroidery together is just georgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Heather and Magpie Mumblings for checking out the embellished boxes. Every one that I have made, are used as display pieces. I think one of the boxes displays beautiful lampwork beads.
Vickie, these are absolutely stunning!
