You are always so sweet to share what you know, and you know sooo much! Your altered cigar box is just lovely; the top is beautiful and almost a shame to cover it up. Good thing you used such cute babies! The metallic gold on the edges is such a perfect finishing touch. Any those crackled vines are fabulous! Wonderful,wonderful altered box!

I think my favourite part is the sides, you have made the box look so vintage in the raw umber colour and the antiquing cream has really brought those leaves to life! Needless to say, the little people are just adorable and I really love how you created the picket fence. A beautiful project indeed!
