Smeared and Smudged August Member Hop

Hello!  Today is the monthly member blog hop for Smeared and Smudged.  The theme this month was Anything Goes.

I decided to alter a box I’ve had for a few years.  Here’s what the drawers looked like before I started painting…

I applied gesso, painted it, put on some crackle medium, then painted it again.  I added a couple of embellishments to the sides.

My image is from Smeared Ink…it’s actually from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club.  After I colored and cut out the image I lit a candle and attempted to scorch the feathers a bit.

I’d also like to enter this into the current Smudgy Antics challenge, which is Burnt Offerings.(I burnt the edges of my image)

Thanks for looking!
