This is a shabby jewelry box designed to sit on a dresser top. It is supposed to look as if someone framed a tin ceiling tile that is weathered and has a bit of rust peeking through the crusty paint. The drawer front is two polymer clay tiles that I made using a scrapbooking stamp. The "rust" is from a kit but I'm not sure that I wouldn't have done even better if I had just used a rusty colored little paint. Here's a tip for you that you may not have tried... see the little "arm" brackets on each side of the tile? They are slices of crown molding! Thank goodness for my Easy Cutter. Poke the pictures for a closer look.
This is o-so-belated so I apologize! The wonderful Casey Mini nominated me for a blog award called "Strange Men in Pinstriped Suits." Can you believe that she thinks that I have a tendency to jump from one project to another? Who Me?? I have no idea what... well, wait... Here is my latest mini project, jumping back to shabby chic accessories rather than finishing the bricking of my Beacon Hill, staining of furniture kits, a little girl's traveling trunk or the country style items that I've been working on. Casey, you are so wise!!
