Beach scene box - 1

Hallo,
  Another box for you today - different style box but same as yesterday - turquoise crackle paint finish with a beachy encaustic wax painting on the lid. And again I forgot to get a pic with the new hardware - added a latch that was a bit sturdier and more fancy than what came original on the box.
   The last pic shows the finished painting...

Box 2 - beach scene

Hallo,
  I thought it was about time I showed you this box. I finished it off some time ago....the only picture I didn't get was with the new front latch hardware. I changed it out to one a bit fancier and more sturdy. And I did clean up the mirror and added a couple small seashells onto the lower left corner of the mirror .
  I took a plain wood box from JoAnn's and used a crackle type paint finish on it and painted the top white(with encaustic gesso). I then took the box to my studio and did an encaustic wax painting onto the lid - its the last picture - kind of a beach scene to go with the box color.
                                                                                          All for today - Take Care

Angel

Hallo,
  Another little decorative box for you today using the same image as the last one with a different color scheme. She is called 'Blue Star Angel' by Karen Middleton.
  I colored her with prismacolor and polychrome pencils and accented the layers with gold mettalic pen.
  I decorated the box with pretty papers and used a drawer pull for the lid handle and wooden pieces (painted mettalic gold) for 'feet'.
  I added some pretty flowers and some white corner pieces too. The inside bottom is lined with felt.
   All for today - pups need to get a walk in here( well so do I :)

Little Angel - gift box

Hallo,
   Just a quick note  before I head off to work this am to show you a sweet little box that I made/altered.
  I used a cigar box and covered it with pretty papers and this sweet image from Sweet Pea Stamps called 'Blue Star Angel by Karen Middleton.
   I colored the image with prismacolor and polychrome pencils and then edged her panel with copper metallic pen.
  I also used the copper metallic pen on the little wood pieces I used for 'feet'.
  Had fun digging through my stash for pretties to go with this image - loving the copper and fall tones lately.
  I used an old drawer pull for the handle - drilled a little hole so I could screw it on instead of glue it so it would be a bit more sturdy.
   I really love doing boxes like this - have a few more in the works so stop back later this week :)
