Thing I Made Thursday #17: Gilded Rose Box!
I am really proud of this one, but it was a lot of work!
I applied a glossy three-dimensional effect on the design and the flowers -- I will get a better picture of that next time I am in the studio -- then gilded over the roses with foil leaf. I added silver leaf to the straps, too. And, finally, I gave it a real cloth lining in red satin.
All of that makes it sound way less complicated than it actually was.
The best thing about it is that it's for sale on Etsy!
It is the most luxurious of the rose boxes I've done so far, and the price increase reflects that (also reflects the fact that I haven't raised the prices on my boxes for years).
I'm running a special on Etsy!
Buy this box and get a free pirate map and envelope! Both handmade and ribboned and awesome! Normally a $23 package.
