I have a great die of an old clock that I never ever used. Now I have finally found an opportunity. So I made a box that could be decorated inside and outside.
As a child when I was visiting my grandparents, I thought that the clock strucked and ticked, and I was afraid for the next chime. It was almost like the wall quivered and the clock was almost alive.
The entire box was painted black to start with. Then I gave all surfaces the cracking paint, and when it was dry box was painted blue and titan buff. The last layer was painted with quinacridone gold.
I have used:
DecoArt media Gesso Black
DecoArt media Fluid Acrylics Titan Buff and Quinacridone Gold
DecoArt Metallic Lustre Brilliant Turquoise
Americana Weathered Wood Crakle Medium
DecoArt Crafters Acrylic Brilliant Blue
Die, charms dial and gem from my stash.
