Mrs. Solitary Butterfly's Book of Wonders main collage

Nina says, KAYA!

I've been working on collages and wanted a way to make it more three-dimensional. Inspired by a diorama in my mom's house, I wanted to alter a box and make a collage in it, sort of like the simple shoebox "TVs" we used to do in school.

I had to beg the KAYA! core team to let me do an altered project for this challenge. Hehe.

As there are too many photos of this project, if you'd like to see the rest of the collage in a box, kindly take a look at my new blog.


Materials used:
8 x 8 Papemelroti recycled paper box, 1972 newspaper page, white acrylic paint, All About Scrapbooking blue handmade paper, various patterned papers, stamps, ink, foil, copper wire, metal wire, beads.

Techniques used:
Altered the box by decoupaging it with old newspaper. Then, painted with watered down white acrylic paint. Pasted blue handmade paper and handcut stars from foil. Then added the layers of patterned paper. Stamped moon face on four different colors of a single patterned paper and layered with foam tape. Stamped lines to look like electricity lines. Stamped swallow, fish, and dog on patterned paper and added with foam tape. Played with metal wire, copper wire and beads and added with foam tape covered by the strip of patterned paper.
