What I have been working on



This morning, I laid out some newspaper, got out my paints and paint brushes
And painted small box lids
I sometimes make these boxes for my market stalls
They are filled with lots of different treasures for children
Rainbow acorns, toadstool children, Autumn acorns, Spring blossom children
I just love making these, and oh the joy I receive when a child opens the box, just magical.

Love and light Marie

    My daughters would love these, Marie. They like boxes and containers of all shapes and love to store their treasures in them. Too bad we can't come by and look at them at your market stalls! I always wanted to visit New Zealand, especially when I was a teenager. It came right after Ireland.

    They are beautiful, and I'm sure children delight in them as much as the treasures they hold within them xxx

    I love the ones with the rainbows! Very cute! The tiny heart shaped one would be perfect for putting a tooth in for the 'tooth fairy'. Lovely! Greetings from New York. :)

    Oh my goodness Marie! these are the same boxes I paint and use to ship my peg people in. Your work space reminds me of my own. You've made me smile yet again. All the best. Take care.

    There are so many good drawing with beautiful colors. I am happy with your piece of art. It is a good art on wood.
