The Toy Box

Picture



Picture

A mess of sketches, designs and ideas. 

Picture


Bare naked.  Ready to be sealed and sanded.  Then a visit to the local paint shop for some colour selection and varnish advice.

Picture


    Base coated, inside and out. 
    Caribbean Sea Blue.   Let's call it teal.    

    And I sand again. 

    Working on full size designs, getting ready for
    tomorrow's visit to Staples to enlarge some
    pictures.

The shelves are painted.   
Now for what goes on those shelves.   




Pictures are taken in my dining room as this is   
too big for my painting table downstairs.   
After this, I think I'll just paint small things,   
like my 126 little gourds.   
Or little canvas pictures.  With lots of detail.

This is a basecoat of the areas I'm going to paint. 
A lot of blotches, though you can tell what some of them are going to be.





A partial paint of the front of the toy box.
I really like the books and thank my Facebook friends for their book name suggestions (still to be painted).

The front of the toy box ... completed.

The two sides.

The lid.

... and the top.  I love the moon balloon. 
Must have been the full moon the night I painted it.
