Right out of the box...

:: soap box ::
mini canvas 
An Artist's Soap Box Life #2
During the alteration of this soap box,
I decided to completely cover it with aluminum foil.
Great effect!
I really like the ruff, textured look and feel of this one. 
materials used to create this project:
soap box
aluminum foil 
matte medium 
acrylic paint
acrylic inks
corrugated cardboard (heart shape)
 vintage book page (text)
window screen scraps (wings) 
silver bead (embellishment) 
wire (28 gauge)

I think we're all blessed with gifts and
I was lucky I just found out what mine was early on and 
have planted that seed and tried to water it every day.

  4. Just beautiful! Love the colors and all the texture!!! Can't figure out where you found window screen scraps, unless it is a scrapbook thing. I'm assuming it is metal and all our window screens have smaller holes and are nylon or something. Anyways, I never thought of painting aluminum foil! Have to try that! Really great!
