Embroidered Box

I have finished the little embroidered bird. This was a fun, quick project to practice silk shading.
I bought this little wooden box...
and quickly transformed it with a couple of coats of acrylic paint...
The bird embroidery was destined to become a padded top...
I also lined the inside of the box with the same cotton fabric...
It is just the right size to hold my embroidery tools for class...
I am happy - it's another small finish!

    I really like your idea of embroidering on the printed fabric! The box turned out quite pretty.

    What a great little box. I really don't think there can ever be enough embroidered birds in the world and yours is absolutely gorgeous.

    Delightful!
    Incidentally - where did the box come from? I'm been looking for a box to mount a couple of oddments of embroidery...
