Oh, these are so cool! What a fun idea, especially to take some of your favourite knicknacks and paint them like this. I wish I could do stuff like this. They turned out really nice, Doda!
I am LOVING your paintings!They are just too gorgeous!
I have an addiction to compartment boxes/display cases. I have lots of wooden ones with glass lids. They hold all sorts of treasures, one of our trip to Scotland, when we beachcombed around St Andrews. Would you believe I found a piece of crockery that had my family name and company crest on the back? I was amazed.
I love all things museum boxed. Dozens of my photos are from the London Natural History Museum. I went wikd over their boxes, let me tell you!
Your post and comment got me thinking, then digging through my photos and collections. I've put up a post about it, and linked to this post of yours. Hope you don't mind!
Hi Diane, these are actually just pictures of boxes, compartment boxes. They are mounted and framed. I didn't mean they were actually boxes, but yes, that would be a good idea to decorate a box like this to make it look like it was already open and filled with interesting things.
Oh, I just sighed when I saw these wonderful watercolours. There is such gentleness about them and they are filled with the most delightful assortment of objects. Sure hope that you do make more.

What a great idea for box decoration. Very well done. What do you keep inside?

I recently did a variation on this in my watercolour class - just up on my blog.
