Cheese Box Redo and Friends/Customers

If you're a cheese box purist, close your eyes.



Yes, the box above is a cheese box I transformed with clay appliques I made,




and layers of paint.




Now, it's a decorative box that can be used for a multitude of things.





After picking up a bag full of clothespins, I put them in the box to count, and, to organize them.  An idea I got from my friend Sharon, who sells cheese boxes stuffed with clothespins.









Anyway, I liked the way they looked in my newly redesigned box.




My intention was to take it to my next show.  However, my friend Joy, aka Savvy City Farmer, stopped by, and............well, I have to make another one now.





I always love seeing my busy friend. She's also a great customer.







Hmmmmm, after my last sale, with friends/customers like Yolanda of The Junk Fairy




loading up,



and, Joy, I think I need to get back to work on the load for my next show.

Because, most of what you see here, is gone.






The abyss is looking kinda sparse too.

I don't mind. Actually, I'm thrilled. I'm grateful for my friends/customers.  They're confidants, and, they keep me on the hunt.

See ya soon.
