There was a design plan...

...but did not expect this as outcome.  Received some cigar boxes from my daughter-in-law and they have been sitting in the background of my studio staring at me.  Worked on one in which I attempted to cut an outline on cover without the benefit of a jigsaw. Well, that didn't work...
So painted another.  Added sample wallpaper.  Enhanced with watercolor for muted blue and green touches.  Used stencil and modeling paste to create trees that were colored with distressed inks.  Added leaves cut from transparencies colored with alcohol ink.  Interior shelf created using cigar box border wood.  Voila.  Journal storage box... Just need to add pen in the bottom area and it will be available for purchase. $35.00 plus shipping.
