I was watching the Sophia Coppola film
Marie Antoinette the other day. It's a lush flick to watch. So much eye candy! One of the things that REALLY caught my eye were the opera sets. I set to creating my own little theatre out of a wooden box and all manner of bits and pieces.
Unable to find just the right clouds for this project, I painted my own, scanned, printed, and cut them out. You may notice that they have a bit of a Terry Gilliam, Monty Python feel. I'm a big fan of Terry's work. The top curtain is from an existing
Alpha Stamps theatre collage sheet.
The box has had one side removed and the lid upturned to become the stage floor. The end pieces at both the bottom and the top are vintage earrings. The round 'medallion' like shapes flanking the 'wings' are the heads of ornate ornate metal upholstery tacks. Loads of
dresden embellishment adds a fine finishing touch to the box.
The entire piece measures around 3.75" x 6".

P.S. If you like this piece, please check back later this week! I'm working on a little something you may enjoy.
