Luscious maroon leather vintage jewelry box has been transformed by artist C. Reinke with botanical print papers, vintage trim, buttons , glitter and cord. Made new this box was worn out with scratches and what not, now it can rest proudly on your dresser or makeup table. Inside is finished off with sparkling glitters and moon women image. and 1920s vintage geometric hand woven trim.

I have used 4 adorable vintage buttons , one Bakelite flower that rests under the brass latch (this case opens to the left)An art deco Lucite button with brass flower is on center back.

The trim is vintage 20s hand woven geo , it is yummy!

Size 10 x 7 x 3 1/2 (deep)

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.
