Red Snowflake...


This is one of the boxes that I am most proud of.. (still not this years box).. The depth in this red took quite a bit of experimentation to get and all together there are about 8 layers of paint on this box.
I love the quote inside...
We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.
Anton Chekhov
I hope that I can make a couple of these for the shop this Christmas..

This is beautiful! I love the lace background. A perfect complement to the rich red. How many coats of paint do you usually do for each box?

Beautiful! And is that the precious glitter paint I see? What brand is that just in case I ever get lucky?
