Box for a friend
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009This 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)
