Another little box

I have had a play with some Fimo today - making some tiles to decorate a little wooden mirrored box.  The fimo was rolled out to about 5mm thick, stamped with various rubber stamps and coloured with Mica powder before baking.  The box was difficult to photograph properly (mainly because my camera skills are virtually non existent but also because it has a sort of two tone finish - crackle paints, rub n buff, a few scroll stamps embossed with shimmery embossing powder and a liberal coating of mica powder as well.)
