Best way to battle with a cold

on a wintry day - dream of the beach.
This assembly started with the last of my cigar boxes and river rock.  Added small Christmas gift boxes painted with gesso and then added sand paper that was intended for a train layout.  The border on top and bottom is created from scrabble tile trays and then jewelry findings attached.  They were painted with black gesso then dry brushed. 


Then  shells, a few pieces of sea glass, driftwood (enhanced with heat emboss), bottle with shells, and bottles with glass (not sea glass but shattered windshield glass).   Measures 9" tall, 7" wide and 2" deep.
