nesting box

Another of my assemblage pieces for "Where Your Heart Is" - this is a cigar box I call "Nesting Box" and turned out to be less assemblage than I envisioned, as I didn't have a nest that fit into it well.

The top of the box has a house with a dog on it -

And opens to reveal the creek scene inside the box cover.

Inside is the nest, with a feather, my personal symbol for an angel - this time also referring to heaven, where Jesus promised he is preparing a place for us to live - getting the nest ready for us, in a manner. This box also has room for personal keepsakes, to make it even more special to its owner. In fact, it might gather things as it sits where I can put things into it...
