Monkeying around Again

The other night, Coury had to work until 4 in the morning. I decided to dedicate myself to hyc Creative and I saddled up to my press and starting a few projects. I've been meaning to make pill boxes out of Altoid tins for the longest time.

Ever since I successfully quit smoking, I've been addicted to Altoid Smalls instead. They come in the coolest little tin. It's so easy to carry and they are sugar free. I am a person that has always carried around some kind of pill container and most of the members of my family do too. It's not that we take anything a lot. We are those people that have toothpicks, matches, tissues, hand cream, a cocktail of tylenol, Advil, Zantac, Imodium, Decongesstant, etc, and recently anti-bacterial gel. That's us.. the Lucas's. If you ask my Mom or Andrea, they probably have Rescue remedy and possibly almonds as well. So, I'm hoping for other people like the Lucas Clan to love my new almost formulated and only 1/3rd created pill boxes. Christina gave me the idea to look for an old Rx label block on ebay. I didn't really find anything wonderful, so I decided to carve something instead. I'm hoping when I dampen the handmade paper a bit, it will form around the spray painted tin and stick well enough with spray adhesive.

Since I liked the idea of a vintage sepia brown, I thought I should print something else in brown as well. This little monkey was printed again with Hang in there! Get well or thinking of you cards were a huge request during the last fair. I'm kinda digging the assortment of zoo animal creations I'm building up. It might be time to create some more.

Feel a little goofy today! That's what monkey's always make me think. They are footloose and fancy free.
