Desert Islands Discs - CJ - Sherry's page for Donna

First, I must say that you are all in for an absolute treat -

Donna's record box CJ is fabulous and I was so excited to

examine every inch and delight in it!

The song Donna chose for me was one I'd never heard of

and I hadn't heard of the artists either - 

'Melancholy' by Louise and the Pins.

It is a beautiful song and one I think I'll be listening to again -

even when not in a melancholy mood.

The artist describes her music as folk / rockability

so I decorated the holder like this - sounds really naff

now, but I thought it appropriate at the time!

Back

I added a wooden tag with some images of Louise.

I went a little overboard with spray inks really, just

kept adding layers and a little bit of rubber stamping.

The words I printed out onto copy paper and machine stitched on.

 This is the inside.

I used some lyrics from the song.

Similarly for the back cover.

Finally, I added a charm to the outside of Donna's box

as when I opened it a little metal pig fell out, he must

have become detached from somewhere so I added him to the

bottom of some miscellanous beads making a longer charm and 

adding to Donna's already lovely jangly collection!

I hope you like it Donna - I did enjoy doing it

(I can stop shaking with nerves now!)
