Hello my Lovelies thanks for stopping by my nest, it's been a crazy few days, lots of company, trying to finish my box and contents, I was going to enter the new Dragon Dreams challenge, I haven''t been able to think of the anything, a real blank, searching through all my things, it's about birds, and the letter G, it must be the letter. anyway I have a few love things to make and send out so I'll work on those and hope something comes to me before the challenge is over LOL.. On to my box...
I tried to do some crackling, need more practice with that., I forgot to crackle the edge around the lid, so I had to gold leaf that too, I kind of like it better this way, I added a tiny nest lined it with threads from my rusted material and some magical eggs, see how they are iridescent, not sure what kind of eggs they are but I know they are magical...

((( BIG HUGS )))

Oh, Dianne, this is a magic box! I love the feathers, the beads and the gold. And the little nest is such a brilliant detail. I'm sure something magical is going to hatch out, you know? What a clever magpie you are! Julie Ann xxx
So, so beautiful, Dianne... those feathers look just wonderful, and I love the peacock colours against the sepia, gold and ivory of the box. Amazing crackle too - it looks sensational!

Oh it's a such a treasure box, Dianne. The crackle' is perfect no flaw from here, and the little nest is so adorable.
Sorry I spend less time on the PC lately, can't catch with all the blog posts from my craft friends... it's so frustating for me :-(
WOW, Dianne! Absolutely LOVE your box and if you have to make something bird and the letter G, why can't it be this box with the bird feathers and the gold or the magic gold eggs??? LOVE how you gilded the edges ~ looks better I think than the crackle would have. Just so Clever and Gorgeous!

Hi Dianne. I am out of the country right now and the internet access we have takes FOREVER to download any images...so please forgive me for not commenting on your current blog post. I can't SEE it! :) I wanted to thank you for leaving such a sweet comment on my blog. It thrills me that you recognized my work over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous just from looking at the picture. I am definitely a hoarder...so that was a perfect fit for me. haha I hope you're having a good week so far. Sending hugs, <3 Candy
Hi Dianne! hope you are well. Gorgeous altered box and the crackle is fantastic , those feathers are stunning. You are such a sweetheart popping by my blog and leaving such kind comments, I really appreciate them, thank you, your support makes it all worthwhile. Tracy x x x
Hello kindred..I so love this magical box..it is so stunning and carries such a wonderful energy to it...blissful and poetic...this is awesome!!
Hugs
Dianne, this is absolutely exquisited... You have inspired me with ideas for altering some blank wooden and papier mache boxes I have. I adore crackle paint. The subtle colours you have chosen, together with the touches of gold, make a perfect background for the beautiful coloured feathers. I'd never have thought of using eyelash yarn like that! It's all just gorgeous...
