,,Dance under shimmering moonlight 
like the moon was made for you alone,
and let it shine down on your exquisite face
like the light is an extension of your soul.       -A.Bentley -


Hi my friends today I would like to show you my altered box ,,Dancing in the moonlight . Altering a wooden box is such a fun thing o do because it can be anything you want it to be.For his box, I have combined several tecniques . I also used a lots of prodcts to make up this magic ,steampunk style box.

The base was wooden box , I painted it with two coats of white gesso On the top I glued some

flowers, chipboards, tulle ,gazue  and lots of metal embellishments. .I also sprinkled some micro beads 

On the edges of this box I used modellig paste to make interesting background . I painted it with black gesso ,when it dried I started to apply inka gold : silver gold and gold.I also used  mica powders blue opal magic, gold opal magic ,blue ,deep water.

As the final step I started playing with colors .I used mists: pear violet, pastel lavender,calypso teal, pastel blue 

On the sides of this case 

I used flower stencil and modeling paste . Then I painted it with old gold paint.
