Heart Shaped Box as of July 10

Heart Shaped Box as of July 10 (Originally uploaded by randubnick)

This is a photo of my collage and decoupage project as it looked the last time I worked on it, which was last Thursday, July 10th. I am recycling the heart-shaped box, which originally contained a Mother's Day gift from my daughter. I am covering all the surfaces of the box with designs made with decoupage and collage, using printed metallic ribbons. I have been concentrating on the edge of the box top (covered with a predominantly red pattern). It is almost complete, except for a bit of patching, as can be seen in this photo. But the gold pattern below, on the outside of the box, still has a long way to go. To be continued. . . .
