Vintage original gold larger leather 1960s jewelry case has been transformed into a fairy delight with lace vintage buttons , bling and other found objects including lovely vintage buttons. On the left hand side a vintage plastic flower with crystal center bracelet is added with a touch of gold rabbit fur. Outlined in Brilliant blue glass beads with center tassels.

Size
13 x 8 x 5
Bottom has original velvet covering.
inside opens up and is lined in soft gold stain with a snow flake design. Gold velvet sections are in good shape I have not altered it at all. Front latch is working good and secures tightly.

I love doing jewelry boxes, they are so special and I day dream of what will go into them. I take allot of time with these and find that they can take as long or even longer than a suitcase. I apply allot of trims and special items to them. Many of these trims are costly or very unusual , rare, such as the cute vintage four leaf cover button I have applied on the top.

Catherine Reinke RECYCLED ARTIST
All my recycled suitcases are OOAK one of a kind . Most can be can be used on an airplane or as a carry on. They are created as works of art however. Use my suitcases as STORAGE , for DVD's, books, special clothes, treasures, and place them around your room like a piece of furniture.

I rarely will reuse an image in one of my works. I tend to cut right from the magazine or book, giving my work more uniqueness and value. I do not use digital images.
