Door Prize ~

 

Crooked River Rug Hookers has traditionally used small mats hooked (or appliqued, punched, etc) by members as door prizes for our fall hook in.  This year member Rita came up with the great idea of decorating cigar boxes in the medium of your choice . . . hooked, appliqued, punched, etc.  A cigar shop near her sells the boxes for $5 each with all proceeds going to the local humane society.  The more boxes sold, the less that end up in a dumpster and a win for the homeless furkids.

Here is my first one.  I punched the piece years ago and never fully finished it.  For me, it's the journey and not the destination.  The "destination" was the perfect box topper.

I decided to add something to the inside, and thought a scrap book page of men's sweaters was a perfect complement to the guy theme.

The backside of the lid had an area where the graphic had been torn, so voila!  A Tim Holtz cutout was the perfect camouflage!

Not bad if I do say so myself 😁

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
