Boxes

Box Making is an interesting addition to silk painting.  This box was made with a silk painted top incorporating a butterfly and sequins.  because silk painting is onsilk the original designs can be easily added to a sewing project.  For more information on box making I recommend two books. " Why not embroider boxes" ISBN 0-9540030-2-0 and "Hand Stitched Boxes"- ISBN 0-7153-0331-7
