I'm having surgery soon that's going to take me out of crafting comission for a while, so I've been getting a lot of little things done that I've been wanting to do.

I have about 10,000 grooming products, and they were all over my bathroom, so a while back I bought some cheap papier mache boxes and always intended to do something with them.





I just covered them with a mix of waterbased walnut stain and glossy red paint then sealed the tops with a gloss varnish and the bottoms with a matte varnish, since the bathroom is a humid place.




It's rose quartz and other assorted glass beads. I got a kit a while ago and decided to give it a try, now I just need to find someone to give it to.






I love my dining room table, I didn't love the cream colored fabric that was covering the cushions, so I recovered them in moss colored raw silk.





It's hard to tell in the picture but it's a picture of the mad hatter embossed and hand colored on vellum, then purple mulberry paper and white rice paper with a raised scrollwork detail. I used the adhesive sheets that I normally use for microbeads to add the blue glitter.

Fun fun.
