Why is it in the Garage Sale?
From Kathryn:
I made this over an existing box, and it was one of the first ones I had tried fluid painting on. I didn’t know that I needed to seal the gaps in the box lid, and some of the paint and resin dripped down into the box. It’s been cleaned up, but some of it wasn’t possible to remove, so the inside of the box looks a bit rough. Once you put your tea bags in it though, you won’t see it.
This was also an experiment where I tried making an inlay in the side with pencil crayons, and I really like the result.
