Photo taken at Shake Rag Alley
When I was at Karen Robison's Paper and Book Camp 2.0 at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point, WI, I made a collage that I really liked. So that meant when I got home I wanted to find a good box to make the perfect match to the collage.
I picked this Climax Smooth Plug Tobacco Box. It is a glorious old box in the roughest shape. I decided that I would use it anyway so that meant I had to strengthen it with some Aves Clay. The nails I like to use on many of projects, in this case, helped to hold the box together.
Thus we have What Awful Joy. The title comes from a piece of text I added to the collage. It is 16"H X 10"W X 3"D. It consists of a Climax Smooth Plug Tobacco Box, Masonite Board, Nails, 3 Hole Wood Piece, Metal Numbers, Tea Dyed Papers and Paint.
