Lotstodo Challenge - Alter It



This box originally held cuff links and tie pin!!!! It now holds my postage stamps!!! I covered the whole box in Gesso and then once it was dried I covered the top in a thick coat of 3D paste I run a comb through it to create ridges - next came a coat of green acrylic and then I run a bronze dabber over some areas. To decorate I used some memory glass, an image and sealed with memory tape. I then coated a bamboo dominoe with dabbers - stamped it then varnished it. I finshed the domino by adding some wire I had wound round my pen to curl. I lined the inside with matching paper.
