Eerily Inspired Box of Emptiness

Welcome to week 2 of our 
Eerie Inspiration challenge

I'd say that this photo collage is brimming with eerie, beautiful, dusty,
thought provoking, mojo whetting, inspiration. Wouldn't you?

I decided to alter a paper mache box.

This is the lid. I used some ripped dp and crackle paste for the texture, 
on both the box, and the lid.

I gathered up some monotone goodies like paper roses, the ever
popular cheesecloth, some little round mirrors, a wooden cross that I painted 
with crackle paint, a polymer clay coffin that also got the same crackle treatment, 
and some other goodies for equal measure. I ended up adding other tones like 
pearl, amber, gold, and silver for more interest.  

I added some little wooden cups for feet on the bottom of the box.
I like the height they give, and it makes it look a bit more fancy 
than just a common box. For a last hurrah, I rubbed the edges of the
box and crackle texture with Inka Gold in silver. It gives the box the
look of old, heavy silver. Love it!
