Hi Everybody,After clearing out the garage and getting rid of garbage I found this box tucked away at the back of a shelf.
It just called out to me ... "Don't throw me away ..." and so I brought it inside.
At this precise moment I don't know what I am going to do with it but I have the old brain whirring around with ideas
I have sanded it all down to a nice smooth finish both outside and inside and then got rid of all the dust
I decided to add a coat of White Gesso to it all as a base for any other colour that I wanted to add but that is as far as I have got with it so far
It really is quite a sturdy box and once I get some ideas going for it I will get to work and show you bit by bit what I have done to it.
So watch this space
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Looking forward to seeing the end result. We are moving house and I have found a hoard of forgotten similar items so ideas needed. Love your posts...don't always leave a comment though...times-a-rushing by.
