Altered Matchboxes

The same sisters who invited me to make and exchange Mug Rugs suggested an altered matchbox swap.  Here are some I decorated, filling them with little pictures and treasures.  A large polished pebble seemed the only thing I could come up with that would match the teal hand made paper background.  One matchbox cover has a real key attached to it, another has feathers.  Two are topped with a large glass button.  A leaf skeleton decorates yet another, and a plastic oriental design shade pull made an unusual adornment.  The purple one has a butterfly applique on it.
