Assemblage boxes!
And usually when I do these, I start out with a prompt, and it will usually lead the way. This time it was these--
These great children's blocks that I had--nicely aged and dirtied up--like they should be. And here's where they led me--
This one pretty much put itself together--I love that when it happens.
And I'm sure alot of you know Rebecca from Daisy Dolls, and if you don't, then you are definitely in for a treat--you have to check out her blog. Well, she had showed you on her blog a gift that I had given to her........and NOW--I want to show you what she gave me in return!
This is a print from a painting that she had done when she returned from India last year. Is this not gorgeous!! And look at the bead embellishments that she added on--all covered in resin. And how about that very cool elephant?! Rebecca, I'd say that you captured the atmosphere of India very well--thank you so much!! It's now happily living with all of it's other new friends in my art room.
And speaking of Rebecca--her daughter, Emma Grace has a blog too, and she is having her very first giveaway! Emma Grace, you inspire me with your enthusiasm and creative spirit!!--don't ever loose it!! So if you haven't gone over and signed up yet--what are you waiting for?!.........GO!!.......NOW!!
But before you do, there's one more giveaway that I want to mention to all of you face addicts--

OMGoodness, your assemblage boxes are gorgeous! What a beautiful piece of art. Rebecca's gift is stunning also ~~ love her work.
Diane; wow these are amazing boxes! You have done a great job with the blocks! I saw that gorgeous painting you gave Rebecca! The one she gave you is also gorgeous! I had no idea she went to India. I love your blog Diane. You are very inspirational!
Oh your box is delightful! You should have shown close ups of every angle! And I love your art wall too! So invigorating! Patsy from

Gorgeous work Diane! The print you received looks great hanging on your wall. Jennifer:)
Fantastic artwork again!
I love reading your blog and seeing what you'll come up with next!
Lots of news today, Diane! First, your shadow boxes are amazing!!! Yours could be featured in any one of the Somerset magazines!!!
I ADORE Rebecca's work. Lucky YOU to have a print that you can proudly display and enjoy. And, yes, Emma Grace is a very talented little girl. I actually look forward to her posts. She reminds me to keep in touch with the child within. Hugs, Terri xoxox
Love the assemblage box! Why oh why did I get rid of my children's blocks? I keep seeing all kinds of projects I'd like to use them for.
I was in the process of writing you a message when my internet just quit. I couldn't get back on the internet, so called my provider to find out the problem. After speaking with a couple of people whose first language was not English, I finally got back.
Here I am, and still admiring this box. When I first saw the blocks, then the shadowbox open, I thought you were making it from the old blocks. I was glad to see that was not the case. Your piece is far better than anything I saw in that article. Lovely, as usual.

Wow... you have such incredible talent! G o r g e o u s work!! I say send them into Stampington! They will love them!
I am going to take a long weekend and will be visiting Philly and the little town of Kennett Square, PA in Oct. Is there anything that is a must see? I have been to both once before and just loved it. I LOVED South Street so I definitely want to go there again.
Hope you're having a great week.

I don't know how you manage to put together such an awesome piece. :) I don't think it would assamble itself for me that nicely. :)
wonderful! my fave bits are the children's blocks which are aged brilliantly. then the text and the stamped letters, oh and the roses surround. lovely.
Your box is Gorgeous!! And that picture that Rebecca gave you is gorgeous too,love all the beads,it does remind me of india. And now I'm tempted about Jodi's class.
