Hi everyone. I've been MIA for most of the week. Busy week at work and a conference to attend. Anyway, some of you WOYWW may recall a couple of gessoed boxes from a couple of weeks ago. Well this is how they have turned out. I am going to put some little things in them for DDs for Christmas.... yes, I used the 'C' word!
This one is for DD2 and had a coat of Transparent Red Oxide acrylic paint over it before having some decopatch paper stuck over the outside and a few images from the same paper on the inside. I then gave the whole thing another watery coat of the Transparent red oxide then did the Krylon pen thing around the edges and the Inca Gold around the lid.
I really love this japanese paper! Anyway, a coat of glossy decopatch glue (a bit like mod podge or gel medium) and we were done.
The second one for DD1 was done the same way, except the Tranparent Red Oxide looked a bit orange next to the pink so I went over it with Mushroom, and I used some Viva Precious Metal pink instead of the gold krylon.
I'm quite pleased with how they have turned out :)
Hope everyone is having a good weekend (despite the horrible weather). Anyone been to the Artisan show? Wish it was a bit nearer to me so I could go, mind you, after the massive spend at Ally Pally it's probably best!
