just finished this box

I'm adding to my stock for a holiday bazaar next weekend (Dec.1) and just finished this box. The photo came out a bit brighter than the box really is. It's an oversized lid on a 5-1/2 x 5-1/2" square bottom. This is the first time I used dye instead of acrylic paints for coloring. I was REALLY pleased.

I used the new EcoFlo stuff from Tandy for the color, and a bottle of their old Tan antique for the background.

The knot is a modified version from that huge Celtic knotwork book that's out at Tandy (can't recall the title...)

Very nice Holly, do you also make the wooden boxes yourself?

I buy them at craft stores like Michaels and AC Moore. I try to get nicer ones - alot of times if I find a quality supplier (i.e. another fair vendor) they charge too much for me to turn around and sell it after I add my work on top.
