Here is some of my artwork, I made all of these from dollar store wood shadow boxes that were originally hot pink with a fake daisy inside! Hahaha... I made the major transformation using simple acrylic paints and "puffy" paints, wall covering and leather samples from my past interior design jobs, and coins from my travels to Europe...
Let me know what you think...

i love these! i can't believe they came from what sound like tragically cheesy beginnings! well done!
ReplyDeletethis is a great way to display little trinkets like the coins in an artful way. looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Absolutely beautiful what you did with those homely little boxes. If only as you say.. you had a little workshop and all the spare time you desired to just create...maybe one day. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and inspirations.
ReplyDeleteI love these...what a beutiful way to display coins...I have a Mexican coin from my Great Grandfather's birth year and have been wondering how I was going to display it...I think I have found the answer...
ReplyDeleteI love all your art work...you are such a talent!!
Thank you so much for your kind words Linda! If you would like any tips/ideas/guidance on creating a display for your great grandfather's coin by all means please e-mail me at InspireBohemia@gmail.com, I would be happy to help! I even thought of offering to make you a shadow box and send it to you, all you would have to do it hot glue/double stick tape the coin inside!! Let me know, and thanks again for taking the time to admire my artwork, it means a lot! :)

I own an art gallery and frame shop and was totally visiting just to see some ramshackle cheap dime store art but wow am I amazed! Nice work, you have a very nice handle on combinations of texture and color. Very well done.
