Diva in a Box

The altered box for my friend Junaline is finished.

I hope it will make it through the customs, as I know they are very careful in Saudi Arabia and this little thingy must look a bit weird in the x-ray of a package.

Wishing you all a great start in the week and look forward to what´s new in your blogs!

Love ~ Bettina

  2. Thank you, Nancy!

    I was grinding down the original polish with sand-paper, paintied the box with golden effect paste first, used a crackle polish and after drying I covered it with the light blue color. Then I applied her name and the picture in the middle (paper), altered it a bit with brown polish and applied some glossy finish at last. I will let it dry for about two days, then it should be ready to send it :)

    Hugs ~ Bettina

  3. That is beautiful. I've never tried anything like this. How fun it would be. I've painted little boxes but yours is just awesome. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Thank you, Gloria. I love those little boxes, cause they doesn´t need much, but a little creativity. A bit color, a little piece textile, few buttons or other stuff you can find at home, glue and color. The little map in the background I simply printed and covered it with clear polish. You should try out a Frida collage, your Fridas are always so amazing!
