Here's another trash to treasure adventure
We ran out of cereal today and this beautiful cardboard box was just waiting for me to claim it for something other than the recycling man's giant truck.
so I sanded it ...
inked one piece and painted the other ...
tore it into strips and wove it together ...
added a story ...
added some doodads and doodles ...
and now I have an inchie hanging and keepsake of friends from around the world ...

Kimmie - it's beautiful!! You have such imagination!! It's kind of like the placemats we used to teach the kids to weave in kindergarten - but soooo much cooler!!!GReat way to display others' art!!!
Great job! What a wonderful idea! That's a stunning piece of art!
SWEET Beans!! What a cool idea..totally love it! You tore it perfectly..I hope I can tear that straight! I love how you can display it. Will you frame it? Love the color's and cute story too.
I might turn it into a cover for a book ...
to tear the edges nice and straight - just hold a ruler along the edge and tear against the ruler
ooo that rocks!!! you are a wealth of delight, miss kim!!!
Wow, beautiful find and beautiful transformation.
I also have been saying lately, "trash to treasure" as I pick up found things often. When you have a chance, please visit my "found" site, I'll link to it when I sign off...
PS I just visited your corner view, but because of the comment formatting, I can't leave a comment there, so here to say...
Lovely family, lovely views, lovely corner!
thanks for visiting mine.
bEst,
WOW! Who would have known how it began... beautiful! I just showed this to my sons and they are trying to figure out which cereal box to tear up!
as the French say, "Incroyable!" -- incredible seems too cliche...
Great idea, it looks wonderful!
Amazing - and to see things from the beginnings of a cereal box to your beautiful piece is a true gift, xv.
Kimmie-you are amazing! You are the bringer or miracles. Keep it up, I'm stalled and in limbo right now, looking at your incredible stuff is keeping me a believer...
Oh thats wonderful Kimmie - I'm so honoured to be part of it!!
