Box for a friend

This little project was made as a gift for a friend.

I did not build the base object, the box, but embellished it and resurfaced it. The original box was an old, early 1900s toolbox that I found at a nearby antique & miscellaneous junk shop. Aside from the keyhole and hidden hinges, the original box had no ornamentation.  The red & black wash was applied to the top and insides of the box as part of the initial steps in this project. (the inside was undecorated, the top had been written on with black permanent marker at some point)

    Your friend is a pretty fortunate person…

    …as far as fortune has to do with it, anyway. :)

    And in all other ways, you rock.

    My friend puts up with mischievious trickery as well, so ‘fortunate’ may not be the best descriptor.

    This just balances things out a bit. ;)
