No, I dont think I need to wrangle one yet, I've only done one so far, and I was a couple days past deadline on that one. So, I gladly toss this idea out into the aether, hoping someone picks it up to wrangle.

I would definitely love to see an altered matchbox project. Just to clarify--when ahk originally brought it up the idea it was for match boxes, not match books--which are two different things. It's a project we have both participated in several times in the past.

Anyway--the idea is to use one of the little match boxes where it is a box with the little drawer that slides out with the matches in there. You take the matches out, then both decorate the outside of the box and fill the inside with contents/little treasures. They are usually done around a theme, such as a color. So the outside would be decorated mostly green, for example, then filled with little green items. The match boxes are so awesome! It's like getting a mini treasure box.

So anyway, just wanted to volunteer the explanation of what they are. If Tommie wrangled, obviously he can suggest whatever theme or anything else he wants. Just seemed like no one had really heard of these before. I'd be very excited to do these again!!! Also, I like the idea of wearable art.
