FOLK ART: FUNCTIONAL SHIFT

I HAVE CONVERTED AN OLD PRINTER'S TYPE CASE INTO A KITCHEN
WALL DECORATION.

Submitter comment: THE COMPARTMENTS WERE FILLED WITH BEANS, GRAIN AND OTHER KITCHEN
OR FOOD ORIENTED ITEMS. GLASS WAS THEN USED TO SEAL THE ITEMS
IN AND TO ALLOW THEM TO BE VIEWED. THE CASE ALSO HOUSES A SPICE
RACK.
