Rain assemblage

I am trying to do more assemblage work and this week I got inspired by a couple pictures on 

Pinterest and here you go with he first one.   The inspiration picture is nothing like my finished project, but that's the way with inspiration.   Sometimes it just gets you to move.

 The little guy in the shell was made for me years ago by my miniaturist friend Betty.   It has seem some rough wear and tear since then but looks great in this box.   Love the block - "S" for Shell (or Sheila) and shiny stuff is always a favorite.     All in all - I'm thrilled with the way it looks.    

Paint - when this box was painted, I used one brush and two shades of paint.   I like the changes in colors and only had one brush to clean.
