Altered Mail Box from Germany



Oh my gosh....I was expecting an envelope for a swap with Valerie, and she mailed me a box filled with absolutely stunning art -- all her creations.  Valerie is known as the QUEEN OF TAGS and she included three of her newest ones along with a stunning altered tin, a key ring filled with seven collaged holders (both sides) containing the most precious tags.  There is also an altered bag and notebook.  Just yesterday I pulled out a stack of blank books thinking our small stamp club might like to do something with them.  Now I'm really inspired after seeing what Valerie did with hers. 

AND, Valerie knows I like oriental themed art so she wrapped each piece in an Asian themed napkin which I will save for a special project.  Just look at all the inspiration contained in her box. 

I am truly honored to receive a collection of Valerie's art.  I hope you will visit her blog.  She is an artist who produces art almost every day, all different and creative.

Thank you so much, Valerie.  How lovely of you to included items in my style along with all of your hand made pieces.
