3.26.11 ... dictionary ephemera gift box wrap

3

i received an order in a recycled gift box and, naturally, i loved that. i want to use it yet again and hope the next people in line will be encouraged to reuse it as well, but it was getting a little worse for the wear so i decided to give it an edge and wallpaper it. i went through my old discarded dictionary looking for something interesting and with the right page placement. i love this hieroglyphics illustration --- i just now noticed it is about a gift!

well, prior to finding that .... this was my favorite aspect of the particular piece - that it had the hieroglyphics bit and that higgledy-piggledy are situated perfectly for the latter to rest exactly on the box top edge.

and i love that flounder is on hand and that the top edge flaw which bows out has the words 'higher and lower' right on the 'hilly' section.

3

and i love this flourish. how groovy is this?

i am thinking about what i'd like to use for the interior. i'll be back with that one day soon. or later. 


sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
