Treas-ure a quantity of precious metals, gems, or other valuable objects.
A treasure of valuable objects in my world are items that evoke a memory of loved ones. I seem to collect small items of metal, frames, pictures and broken jewelry. I know it comes from spending time in my Pops watch repair shop and looking at my Grandmothers suitcase of pictures.
I created Treasure Keepers this year for myself and family. I also made some for my shop. I gathered my favorite items, pictures, papers and fabrics and started creating. Luckily, I took a class by Roxanne Evans Stout, The Bookmaker which you can find on highlighted link
I created my own twist with item I had on had. It was so fun to imagine what each person would put in there boxes!
I made boxes and tins. Created mini portraits on canvas, fabric journals, prayer (art) flags, pins and found objects for each treasure keeper. Of course, I left room for each to add their own.
My daughter’s tin has a small Victorian purse I found and love it as it was falling apart. Inside I put one of my mother in laws rosary. In the tin I put photos and pictures I watercolored from a trip we took
For my other daughter, a sweet change purse
For me
