Jessica’s Jewelry Box

jessicas-jewelry-box-lid.jpgjessicas-jewelry-box-inside.jpgjessicas-jewelry-box-front.jpgI made this for my niece Jessica, who is five years old.  Like her sister’s box, it is a wooden box from Michael’s that I spent a few weeks decorating.  I used violet interference paint, mixed with gel retarder, to stamp the leaf patterns on the lid and sides.  I tried to make a polymer clay embellishment for the lid, but it turned out poorly, so I used the gerbera daisy cut out instead.

Inside the box is a rhinestone tiara.  My focus group says this sort of thing is appealing to the 5-7 yr old girl demographic.

    So I was showing this to my kid, who said “Pink and purple! I remember going through a pink and purple phase!”

    And – I remember going through a pink and purple phase, too.

    It’s beautiful. Hope she loves it.
