Pacific coast iris treasure box, original design fabric
Description
My original photograph of an iris printed on fabric is the top of this 5 x 5 x 2.75 inch wooden box. I took a photograph of a beautiful Pacific Coast iris, a California native flower, with its characteristic purple petals and yellow and white veining. I softened the image and added a subtle mosaic texture to the green foliage in the background. I printed the design on fine pre-treated cotton. I added batting for depth and softness, and quilted with gold metallic thread around the edges and to outline the petals of the flowers. I painted the box with Venetian gold paint, added antique-brass colored metal corners to each corner, and adhered the quilted piece to the wooden box.The box is hinged in the back, with a 1-inch long dark-gold colored metal clasp in the front. I painted the inside with the same gold paint, and lined the inner top of the box with a dark purple silky polyester fabric, padded with batting for softness. For feet, I nailed antique-brass colored carpet tacks to each corner of the bottom.
