This was an old recipe box I found at a local thrift store. I finally decided what to do with it. I painted the box and layered colors of black and red. Then I added scraps of paper for my design. I painted the inside of the box black and will line it with some pretty paper.The top of the box is lush in color and I used a crackle finish that worked perfectly. I used a rubber stamp to get a soft pattern in the background surrounding the woman. I like pearls and gave her a matching set!
Gorgeous work! Im in the middle of painting a wooden pencil box, and I am really enjoying painting on the wood. You've done a great job with this Suz!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I just added an image of the whole box that I did not have on there! OOps! It is fun to paint on wooden pieces, now I am trying a small chest.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the colors you chose.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get your crackle finish to work so well? Mine always turns out looking like crap.
Jennifer, I was lucky this time, but usually they do not work so well. I tried it again last night without much crackle at all. I am using a one-step crackle.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!!!!!
