Hi - Jackie here!
I'm back for another post Featuring our Partner for the month of January~ DecoArt!
DecoArt has been around for ever! teeheehee Okay, I exaggerate! At least for a long time! And over the last year or so they have added such a yummy line of mixed media products- full of rich pigmented colors and all kinds of fun textures and mediums! Check them out- I just know you will find some products that will be on your "have to have" list!
So, let's get started- I had some boxes in my stash that were from a previous project- that did not go well...
First was to cover over previously painted boxes with gesso.
After they dried,
I added flexible modeling paste through a snowflake stencil and waited over night.

Next were my first coats of color,which I applied with both my fingers and by dry brush
Finally came the two coats of DecoArt Media Gloss Varnish to seal in all that beautiful color and texture.
I'm so glad you joined my today! I do hope I convinced your muse to get into your studio and play some art!!

Wonderful little boxes, looks like you had fun! I have no problems making art, I think I need a muse to show me the way to the cleaning cupboard....Hugs, Valerie
Oh, dear Jackie, they are very beautiful! Pastelcolors behind other and theother are so amazing.
I have wrote poems this morning but now I go to my workroom to paint. Thank You for inspiration.
Have a nice day of art :-)
I love the coppery colored metallic of the Decoart paints you chose. Others go for the gold or silver and I am always drawn to copper! Is it a Southwest thing? Maybe. Love the little boxes..will there be chocolate inside???
These are glorious, Jackie...just drooling here. I love the push/pull effect of the colours!
Love it Jackie the colors and texture it would make a nice painting to. Great job.....
Very cool effect. The boxes are indeed little treasures!
Love your little boxes. They are beautiful. Hmmm I think I have a box full of them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great looking box Jackie! Love all the textures and of course fab colours!!
These look wonderful Jackie! I really like how you coloured them! I bought some snowflake stencils not long ago, but I can't find them! I've looked everywhere! Now I'm thinking I might have thrown them away with the packaging!
These are really gorgeous, Jackie. I have some little boxes. Maybe I can do something similar with mine. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs, Teresa
Gorgeous texture and lovely color! Beautiful mixed media box, Jackie
Love those colours, the texture is great like usual dear Friend :-)
Truly wonderful project. Anyone would be happy to receive these treasures! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Very nice boxes.
Altering boxes is so much fun and yours turned out so beautifully, Jackie! LOVE them!
Thank you soooo much for your wonderful comment(s) on my blog(s)!!!! I too wish we lived closer to each other and could have some crafting sessions together ( alongside some tea and loads of crafty chatter from time to time)!
You're the best!
BIG HUG,

Hi Jackie, the boxes are gorgeous and this is a great way to decorate them. I have some of these boxes but never get round to doing anything with them, must get them out soon. Thanks for the great idea and the visit to mine.
Happy crafting, Angela x
They are so so beautiful. I'm totally inspired to do something similar. Today I walked by some raw boxes and didn't really notice them....arghhh. Fab job. Hugs, Susanne.
Your texture and color choices are perfect for these boxes. I'll go over to Altered Pages and take a look. You've certainly been doing some arty work lately!
These are sensational. You have created such a natural looking patina!
