Not made from Polymer clay but for it

[Kimmermonroe]

I don't know how it is with everyone but I like to be able to move around the house with my craft projects. I call it mobile crafting. Sometimes in the living room or outside on the porch. I came up with this for my smaller polymer projects.

It is a glass shadow box I picked up from the $1 store.

I did a reverse glass painting with a image I found on yahoo and decopaged behind it and lined the inside lid with felt.

With the glass on top I can work right on it and keep all of my supplies or extra clay inside!
Before I forget that's not a tail on her it some flames shooting out from abound her feet. I didn't like it but was stuck with it after the glue dried.
I' think I'll make one for my mom for her mobile crafting.
Thanks for looking.

CUTE! And your reverse glass painting takes me back to summer camp.
I had completely forgotten how we used to do that and it was like, the only thing I liked about camp! lol

thats a great idea!
i'd so do something similar, but my clutzyness tells me
glasss + me = bad

i converted one of those lap beading things,
i took the top off, lined it with waxed paper,
and keep the tools in the side drawers
and i keep the whole thing covered with another peice of waxed paper

oh and thats a freken awesome paint job you did!
skillz!

OK, I was going to do something similar to turn a picture frame into a work surface, but I may have to steal this idea for myself, I craft all over, from my bed, to the dining room, to the big ottoman in the livingroom LOL. Sometimes I bring small projects with me when we visit the inlaws or something, so this would be perfect!

oohhh.. that's a really good idea! I also tend to mobile-craft, but i also frequently leave things wherever i've been working. it could probably be solved if i just had a specific spot where i kept everything, but I always want to work whenever (and wherever) inspiration strikes. (This leaves me running around getting everything all the time, and aggravates my family when I leave it there!)  I should probably make one of these. Thanks for the awesome idea!

I really love the idea of being able to work and store all in the same box ....the design is cute too !!!!

You are my hero. I'm definitely a "mobile crafter" and up until now I thought the only solution was carrying around an old plastic box lid. I love this idea, and I hope you don't mind if I use it.

really cute idea, i am a mobile crafter too

for even greater mobility if you leave the glass un-decorated you can stick the glass w/polymer clay project on it right into the toaster oven/oven!!

Sweet concept. I like the design too.
