Greetings. Long time stalker, first time craft-poster.

I've read a lot about those "pocket shrine" thingies, so awhile ago, I decided to make one for my boyfriend's (now ex-boyfriend) birthday. Yes, unfortunately, things didn't go right with him and I, so I still have it...


This is the front of the tin. I painted the outside with the average paints you find in the school supply aisle. Not sure what they're called, but anyway, when it dried, I coated it with that clear stuff that makes your nails dry faster. I ran of that and used the clear stuff that hardens your nails. I did all that just to make the tin shiny, instead of all chalky. Yes, lack of artsy stuff. ;)


Back.

"Sometimes, life just sucks. Be stronger."


Inside.


An old key and lock I found somewhere, painted our favorite colors, and included in the tin. I was going to keep the lock and give him the key.


I found this small plastic rose during a walk and placed it in the tin also.

"I asked for him. I got him."


Another close-up. That flower was actually a piece of one of my pajamas. I was trimming the pant legs and didn't want to throw the flower away.

"Run away with me."



This was the song that always reminded me of him, and vice versa, I think.
"You could be from Venus.
I could be from Mars.
We would be together.
Lovers forever."
I also made the little snowman out of foam, since we had been planning to see eachother during December.


Thank you for your time.
