Latest Melange Team Challenge ~ LACE


This idea came to me this morning at 6:30 while I was sipping coffee and impatiently waiting for my kids to leave for school . I saw an old eyeglass case sitting there in a box looking like it should have been tossed .... I am glad I didn't ! An old tintype photo of a pretty woman , some antique lace , bits of a tapestry , postcard parts , sheet music titles , old buttons , key and a Longfellow poem under an eyeglass .......VIOLA !

  2. This is awesome. I was just reading about altered eyeglass cases in an old issue of altered art magazine. You have created a beautiful sample!!!

  3. Oh this is the cleverest thing I've seen for awhile! It's inspirational! I'm thinking as I look at it of the old glasses I have about the place and what I can do with them! Thank you!
