Hello! My craft project is finished and ready to be hung up. I decided to focus the theme around the 1920's and to include the 1940's... the idea came from an old box of letters and cards that were purchased at a flea market. I wasn't sure what was in the wooden box as it was securely wrapped. To my surprise I found all kinds of hidden treasures of old letters and cards, written to family and friends. I wanted a way to preserve some of these interesting finds, so I placed them in my upcycled dresser drawer.
I included Tim Holtz photo strips of people that could have been from that era, old postage stamps from the envelopes, and just various items helped to create this very unique craft project... which I love!
The photo of the pony, was found in the old letters.
The glittery dragon fly and butterflies were added for a special touch and they are from Renae Bouquets. To see details better just click on the photo. The outside of the drawer was given a dry brush effect, using cottage white. Which isn't shown in the photo.
Bathing beauties part of Graphic 45 papers.
I just love how everything turned out. A coating of modge podge was added to protect. The lighting at the time of taking pictures wasn't good at all. Anyway its difficult to get a good angle. :)
Such a unique and pretty project Mary - I love it! What a great find in the flea market
