Wicked Forest Altered Matchbox

 Oh, you all know I love to do Craftster swaps :) This time around, the swap was an altered matchbox with a "Wicked Forest" theme. I love matchbox swaps because it's such a challenge to fit all your big ideas into a teeny weeny matchbox... Good thing I like to work small... The quote I used for the outside of the matchbox is "All things truly wicked start from innocence." by Ernest Hemingway. I thought the quote was a perfect fit for my little box.

 You slide off the cover revealing a leafy green, lush watercolored box.

 Swing open the doors...

 And a wee fluffy and friendly squirrel greets you! The piece folds out...

 To reveal a plethora of cute fluffy forest friends.

But wait...

Holy crap! The reverse side shows how secretly sinister they are!

I know they're pretty scary, but the theme was wicked after all. The animals are watercolor and ink, drawn and painted just for this matchbox. I showed it to Bobby and he didn't want me to send it off to my swap partner... But I did anyway.

Happy Wednesday, everybody :)
