When I accepted the invitation to join the Design Team at Gingersnap Creations, I was asked to make something using gingery colours to accompany the DT announcement. This scary (at least I hope it's scary, I meant it to be!) Jack-in-the-box was the result. I notice that other team members have now started to blog their pieces, so here's mine! :)The body, hands, collar parts, box and winding handle were all designed on computer and then cut on the Cricut using SCAL. The head, "cirque" and harlequin diamonds were Tim Holtz stamps. The spring was a length of Bind-it-all wire, the hinges were originally brass and I coloured them with promarkers.
As ever, click on the image for a larger view! :)
