Matchbox Xmas gift.

 While we were in the Netherlands, we needed a little bit of “sugar, confort food” and we bought ourselves two Italian biscuits, mine was with limoncello and my husband with almond. As soon as I saw the little box for the biscuits I had an idea! And next I bought “Country Living “ magazine and there is something about matchbox gift.

I can’t put the picture, but if you get the magazine you’ll find it. In fact I did it my own way.

It was of this colour before.

This morning I began my painting work.

Beginning the painting, but the weather is very greyish and it is difficult to work with the light.

There will be rocks, lighthouses and boats. I already did part of the clouds ( need to add a little grey)

Put some of the seagulls. The big white paint will support one lighthouse. Better to have a white background.

These will be the waves, rocks and lighthouses upside down 🙃. BUT! I am too impatient and had a problem with the stickers ( the paint was not dry enough, did it yesterday, but paint is really dry after a few days.

I manage to repair my impatience!

Hope it will stick correctly on the paint. Then I will have to put the varnish.

It is going to be a stressful job ! Wish me good luck not to ruin the whole thing.

To be continued…
