TIMEKEEPER Fres-Go Box

Timekeeper box

I found the box I used for my Timekeeper fres-go tile at our local flea market, called, Happy’s. I get happy just thinking about that place. Usually I can find almost anything I need to complete one of my many art projects.

The box was filled with an antique set of alphabet stamps from a printing shop. The stamps were in perfect condition so I decided to leave them intact.

This box is such a great way to store stamps for artwork. I placed ball feet on it and gave it a light coat of acrylic paint. I left all the inside lettering just as it was. I used tiles in a mosaic fashion for the top along with the fres-go tile. To read more about those tiles I create just go to my posting of Oceana.

I write stories for all of my artwork and include them in my book She Who Whispers. This is the story I have given to her:

"Timekeeper”

There were three doors in her life. The
Doors of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Yesterday appeared to be only an illusion,
Tomorrow a vision. Both were vague and
Nebulas. Today was a place she could not
bear to be. The choice was at hand. The
Voice of intuition began to speak to her and
Somehow she knew in her heart that all time
Is simultaneous..the first cry also being the
Last..for there is only now. By dealing with life
In the present, she could begin to remove
some of the scars of the past and thus change
Her future...with a renewed sense of the
Importance of now..and a recharged inner
Essence..she entered the door of today..where
A new world awaited her.
