Re-purposed Cigar Box and other projects

The little cigar box is still in progress but seems to be coming along well. I'm still using watercolors on the note card and envelope sets and acrylics on just about everything else. My ideas for the cover of the box will involve pine branches and pine cones on the lid to go along with the theme of the rest of the box. Since the brand names and things were burned fairly deep into the wood I'm using the indentations as placement for trees, bushes and other design elements. People are really surprised that you can't tell what it was until you open the lid and see the cardboard label inside. They just pick it up and say "what a great box" and then make the most amazing face when they discover it's secret.
