Altered Cigar Box - Just About There

Here are the updated pictures of the lid of the box. The first one is a more masculine design. The Coca Cola bottle is there because it reminds me of my father. He has always drank this brand of soda, and I do mean always. I guess since I am a Pepsi girl myself, Coke always seems more of a manly beverage to me.I had to change the photo on this side of the lid, because there was some glue on the origingal that I couldnt remove. I added some additional embelishments to the birch twigs I am almost done. I am getting to that point where I feel that if I add anymore, it will ruin it. Above is Logan admiring my work. Actually I think he is trying to decide the best way to get a hot wheel in it if I would just let him. Sorry, buddy. But it does give a better straight on photo of the whole box than the one below.


My final steps I think are going to be finishing the edges, deciding if I want to put it up on the finials, and hinges. I am going back and forth over the hinges. I love the box, and the box lid, but for some reason it isn't tying in. My thoughts are that if I leave the lid unattatched, that my partner will have 3 pieces of art with two displayable at any given time.

I think I will decide against the finials on the bottom of the box. I guess it all depends on the look after the edges are finished.
