A month or so ago my friend Cat in Osaka posted on Facebook a handmade giveaway opportunity. In order to receive something handmade from Cat, I had to offer to give something handmade to five people in 2011. Only three people took me up on my offer, and I have now finished with my handmade items. They are really amateur, but I am quite pleased with them, as they turned out better than I had thought they would. They are collages on the tops of boxes.
This first one is for Donna in Colorado. Donna used to wear this purple sweater back when we were students together.
This next one is for Cat. It's my favorite because of the colors.
This last one is for Mary in Florida. It looks better in real life than in the pictures. The two sets of eyes are peeking out from behind semi-transparent materials, making them both flirtatious and knowing.
I had so much fun making these that I'm going to make one for my mom for Mother's Day, as soon as I get my hands on more wooden boxes.

These are beautiful! I did this on Facebook, too, and will be making some collage bookmarks for my people. I do this in spurts. I have sent a couple out but not all...
Thanks, Kathleen, for your kind comments. Collage is a great medium, isn't it? Someone like me who is not artistically inclined can still get pleasing results.
Will you be posting your bookmarks on your blog? I'd love to see them there.
Beautiful boxes, Jessica... and useful!
I am so thrilled with mine! Thank you so much. Will get to sending yours soon...
