Altered Box

I got the box from friend Gill, she was having a sort out so I took it off her hands. It was originally brown wood but I painted it with a creamy coloured paint. The vintage typography papier is an image from The Graphics Fairy and I used mod podge to transfer a laser print of it. The Graphics Fairy has a list of 12 transfer methods as well as lots of lovely images. 

I've been making some jewellery, so it will be great to keep all those bits and pieces together in the box.

Round Box with water slip decals

This was a recycled turkish delight box and my very first try with water slip decals.
[If you've not used them before - they are inkjet papers that you use to print on & then spray with acylic varnish 3 times. It's then put in water so that the backing can be peeled off to apply to your surface, when dry, varnish again to seal.]
My example didn't work perfectly as you can see as I didn't have varnish - I used inkjet spray - having said that it doesn't look to bad at the top so maybe it was my spraying method. But warts and all, I do still quite like the finished not too perfect look of it.
