Decorative Boxes and Jewellery

I was taught how to make boxes from two squares of paper, whilst at a cruise ship craft class. On returning home, I've bought a pad of decorative papers - and am hooked!

I also made an assortment of jewellery - bracelets and necklaces.

I'm selling these "mix and match" - choose any three boxes (complete with gift tags) and 3 items of jewellery for £13.50, post free to UK.

The boxes are approx. 7.5cm x 7.5cm x 3.5cm deep (plus the depth of any embellishments.

The photos show the stages of the batik process, starting with white cotton fabric, then using hot wax for the resist before each dye bath. I lost the definition of the poppies with the final dye, so I decided to make two separate pictures, using wadding for a partial 3D effect, and then embroidery for features, eg stamen, stalks, petals.
