Awesome work, Dawna! Great textures and colors. I'm not a fan of skulls but it seems to be popular. You did a great job on it and I'm sure your grandson will love it. It's so awesome that he has saved all your cards!!
Seriously cool! You're an artisan, is what you are. Sykler is going to be thrilled, particularly when he notices all the skill, care and effort that went in to this.
oh my goodness!! You have created a AWESOME keepsake box for your Grandson. I am sure he will treasure it always!! The copper color is a perfect choice for all those gears and other GREAT embellies. I really love the texture and the look of the prills "spilling" down from the top gear. You have such a knack for creating amazing art. TFS!
Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a cool keepsake box for my oldest Grandson, Skyler. He's 21 now so I'm hoping he thinks its cool. He let me know this past year that he has kept every handmade card I've made him over the years and that just melted my heart!
I started with a standard wooden book box, stenciled the top for all over texture. Then I piled on gears, cogs, wheels and a clock. I finished it off with a Relics and Artifacts skull and wings set. Then I painted everything black and hit the high lights with copper and added some copper prills to add more texture. On the inside, I added black velvet paper and a copper chain to hold the top open on the inside. As a final touch I added the paper clay motif on the spine of the book box. Thanks for dropping by and having a look! Hugs ~ Dawna
