Bid-a-box this week at the Wall!


This is arguably one of the most ridiculous boxes I've ever made. It took all of about a minute and I have since started covering everything in hundreds and thousands, bobby pins, my usb stick.. Last night I got to work covering a box in a yellow ruffled shirt that used to belong to a finger puppet. I've been busy making ten limited edition boxes because I have a show coming up this Wednesday at The Wall, World Bar, Kings Cross.

I've been wanting to do this particular show for ages and thankfully my boyfriend extraordinaire Tony Curran could hook me up with a space! Our studio is currently littered with matchsticks, matchboxes and errant hundreds and thousands. There was a minor disaster on Friday night, when I mistook the white oil paint for white acrylic... and I didn't realise until I'd painted my entire left hand with it because I thought it would be funny. It wasn't when it didn't come off, I looked like Mickey Mouse and had to have my hand scrubbed by metho by a certain-someone who kept saying 'why did you paint your hand with oil paint???' like I knew what I was doing. Pffft! Tonight we mount boxes into tiny frames!

Anyway! It's going to be a silent auction, so if you like it, you don't have to find it, you can bid on it, only catch is, you're not allowed to know what's inside.

Hope you can make it along!

Many thanks to Kluster, Lost at E Minor and Making It for their love!
