I found these 2 old seed cabinets at the Good Will a few months ago with the intent to use them for storage of various art and collage supplies. I sanded and painted them a rum raisin color and decided it was time to start decorating the drawer fronts. The Comependium of Curiosities Challenge over at Studio L3 seems to be the perfect way to adorn these little beauties. So, my first drawer is now complete using the Multi-Medium Callage technique found on page 66. I used an old butterfly window ornament as my base for the technique and wired some beads into the cutouts of the wings. I also applied the technique to some grunge letters for the title and will store my handmade bugs in this drawer.
Hi Rachelle, that was a fab idea using the butterfly and love your bugs. The cabinet is going to look just terrific. Annette x
