That meant it was time to get going with my candy box. It had been chosen to be recycled back in June.
At that time I posted the progress to a coat of white base. And then it slept in a "to be finished" corner.
This week I added another white coat and then the decoupaged flowers. You won´t notice much difference so I won´t post a picture of the same box with clear varnish. I will be painting the patina next week.
Another piece that got some work on and actually got finished was my brush holder.

This week it got white coated. I also chose the acrylics and the paper napkins to go with it. Cheerful little tree with owls and geometric shapes.
You can see my "left overs" journal at the back, ready for new colours. I chose three from the napkin to paint the inside of the holder.
Ta Da!

STUNNING!! I love it! I have to make this brief as I'm on my mobile and everything takes 3 hours to accomplish (but my internet connection at home is out, so no choice now).

Oh How pretty! Love the idea for the paintbrush holder! Happy Paint Party Friday! ~Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
Lovely and funky and a great one for "The Artist's Way" show and tell time! I love those colors...lavendar and light green together. Beautiful job, amiga!!
What great ideas you have. The brush holder is terrific, much nicer than my mismatched retired coffee mugs.
Excellent - I always pass over those excersices. You have done a great job.
very nice~!
Congrats on winning over at my pal Serena's! I love your boxes. I especially love the brush holder. What a great idea! Good job Paula. Take care and have a great weekend.
Great fun pieces! I love the color combinations you've picked out. Happy PPF!
Now that I got to come and really look at this, close up (not from my mobile phone like yesterday), I am absolutely drooling over your marvelous painting and decoupage work! This is something else that's been on my backburner forever and you are lighting a fire under my ass to finally go and do it. I've collected I can't tell you how many wonderful little pieces to decorate (frames, cubbies, boxes, even these awesome plastic half dress forms!) and it's all been gathering dust. INSPIRATION GALORE OVER HERE!!
Oh Paula, these are both so beautiful! You are so talented!The brush holder is a fabulous idea!You have my head spinning with inspiration! Deb
LOVE both projects this week! Very creative and fun way to bring things back to life! Happy PPF!
Isn't fun to transform things! I love taking something old or plain & giving it new life. Great job!
