Hansel and Gretel revisited - an Assemblage

At my class last week we were given an assignment to use "homely" objects perhaps within a box.  A while ago I had started to decorate a box with paint and floral paper.  Then I left it alone until last week.  I had completed several earlier assemblages using the fairy tale themes of "Rapunzel" and "Sleeping Beauty."  For this project I decided to revisit "Hansel and Gretel."  The little figures which are actually salt and pepper shakers were found at an antique dealer in Ithaca.  The twigs are real.



Below are my versions of "Rapunzel" and "Sleeping Beauty".
