Memories – a bears&boxes piece

Do you remember this photo in a previous blog post of a camera that I had created for a box in progress?

I thought I would show you the evolution of the rest of the box through to the finished piece.

Here are photos of the treatment that I applied to the outside which included transfers,

adding texture,

and paint.  This camera belonged to Jay’s grandfather.  It was passed down to Jay from his dad.

Details of the inside include the camera I made that I mentioned above,

photos in both color and black and white, and

quotes here and there. This one in a vintage slide frame.

The front and

the back.  I think this view of the old camera is a fun one.

and the right side where you can also see the teddy.

The left and the right.  My favorite bit in this piece has to be the really neat background paper that sort of inspired the whole piece.  It’s got kind of an Instagram feel to it.

I hope to post this piece and a couple of others for adoption from my website soon.  As always, thanks for reading!

    1. Hi Alan,

      He has a lot of cameras, but he takes very, very small photos! Pocket sized - you might say!
