Fairy on a Book Box

Hi everyone, Melissa here with a book box for Gina's Designs. I have two other book boxes I've made, and they're very convenient for stashing ATCs, and other small things.

I assembled the box and glued it with glossy accents, then put a few coats of gesso on both the inner and outer surfaces. I followed this with a thin wash of Lindys Stamp Gang. The binding area has a coat of gold liquid leaf paint.

 The top is oil on canvas, it was inspired by Deanne's "Anything Under the Rainbow". I started out with bright colors, added a lot of white,then rubbed and brushed on mica powders in different colors. 

I prepped the fairy with gesso,and painted her with watercolors. I put on a thin coat of glossy accents, then sprinkled on glitter. I repeated this, but made the glue layer thicker. I applied some silver stickles, and gold leaf paint.

Thanks for looking, and have a great weekend!
