Traveling Cigar Box
This is a cigar box that traveled from the East Coast to the West Coast last year. It faired very well although I have purposely distressed it up even more after it came home and added the Nancy comics to the top and inside. Everything that is collaged on this is from an original Nancy Comic Book. The inside of the lid are signatures from the participants of a Take It Leave It swap on the All Things Tim Yahoo Group last year. I used Traci Bautista's Collage Pauge that you can find at Joann's. I have been using this like a gel medium and really love it a lot.

Neat. of course My Nancy (The New Stamper in the Family) would love this also.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! And there's my signature! Do you know that THIS traveling box was what really got me started & hooked on Tim? I had very little Tim stash, thought I could buy any/everything locally ... hahahaha! But, anyway, this swap got me well-started - thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool stuff, Nancy! Great collaging!
ReplyDeleteIt looks truly old, not just recently distressed ;o) How I loved Nancy comics. It was the only one I bought, except for the Lone Ranger! It was the horse I loved. Anyhoo -- How cool ;o) TFS -- I would love to try to alter one of my newer cigar boxes. I'd never touch my Dad's old ones. Thanks for an up close view of a cigar box, altered by people I know. It gives me hope that I could do this too.
