"Dark Raven (Cigar Box)" - Wood Box

I made this Dark Raven wood box using a paper cigar box.

It is actually a "redo" of a box that got water damage on the bottom. I painted over the edges of the original design using Martha Stewart Vintage Gold Metallic Paint (346 433 / M18121), using one coat of paint. But I left the bottom as is.

(Note: I intentionally left the cigar labels on the box, and fully or partially decoupaged over them.)

The steps are similar to the ones here.

"Bowl" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Vessels", which the challenge site said "Google defines vessel as ‘a hollow container, especially one used to hold liquid, such as a bowl’ or it can even be used to describe a boat or ship!".

I was unsure what the theme would be, so I waited until it was posted. I decided to use one of the few bowl images that I have, which contained flowers. Spring is filled with blossoming flowers, as Nature returns to life after Winter.
