Complete: Hero Box

I finished the Hero Box this week and filled it with little odds and ends, such as a compass, a bug catcher, a rope (for knots), marbles, etc. The box was created for a friends son, a place to put secret things and memories. The detail on the box came out great, however there are a few spots where I wish my craft was better. Each section of the box was done in a different comic book theme. the images ended at the corners of the box and were cut at the same angle. I didn't really do the antiquing that I had planned, because in some parts it just didn't adhere correctly.

Needless to say the box was presented to the owner and it is greatly loved for my understanding. I received an e-mail with pictures this morning. I very happy that it was well received and I hope it becomes a special part of this little boys life.

Drinkin' on the Job

Since being ill, I haven't had much time for anything I've been working on. However at the request of my Mother I pulled to gether this lable for Stuart's newest batch of beer. 

She asked that there be something to do with fishing if possible (Bass, fishing poles, hooks, etc.), also that there be the "C" and the "Stu's Summer Fishin' Ale". I pulled this together in about a half hour and then made the addition of the bee at Stuart's request to ID that the batch is a honey ale. 

Not bad for a little Microsoft Publisher and clipart.
