One for the table!

Hello crafty friends..
I have a crafty share and some good news too! As always I have an altered art project to show you and the good news is that I am a member of Deco Art Blogger Outreach Program! Yeah...I was more than happy to receive a bunch of dream goodies, mostly paints, varnishes, wax and so on for furniture distressing!
Do you know what that means...my fav old furniture’s will be getting a makeover soon...not going to spare them too, lol!
Here is what I created with a few of the new products that Igot from Deco Art. 
An antique wooden caddy...you think so??? Wait till the end for a surprise reveal!
Here is how I went about making it...
Step1- I painted the box with black gesso and went about creating textures with stencils, stamps and home made texture paste. I used some die cuts from my stash too. 
I have adhered a cute angel made with POP and resin mold and have worked texture around it too. The focal point on both sides is the heart shaped frame which too has a textured border. The rope running all along the base of the box is made with air dry clay.
Step2- Once the texture was ready, I painted the whole box with black acrylic paint and then started working some brushed pewter DS on it, followed by a wash of burnt umber fluid acrylics. 
To further antique the look, I gave the entire box a wash of antiquing cream in patina green and then rubbed with a baby wipe. Lastly I rubbed in old gold, Inka Gold too. My antique caddy was looking a museum piece now! As if that was not enough, I rubbed in rusty hinge DI in places to give a worn rusty look!
Step3- I cut out this lovely angel from a decoupage tissue and adhered it to linen white CS, and cut it to size to fit the heart frame. I aged her too with some distress inking and Inka gold.I have applied Liquid glass clear on heart and on the other I used Triple Thick diamond glaze! The little angle is secure now!
Step4- I decided to give a pop of color to the antique caddy by embellishing it in fall colors. I punched holes on both sides, used gold eyelets and strung a copper wire for handle. 
All the glass beads and baubles are from my stash and I have used some patina green, orange, copper and black colors which brightens the caddy! A little metal charm that says it all hangs from the handle!
Step5- On one side of the heart I have orange twisted rose buds and a rusty metal wing that hangs above the angel.
 
On the other side some pretty white flowers and have colored the flowers on the angel’s hair!
Finally, a coat of Ultra matte varnish and my caddy was ready. Here is how it looks on my table with a little natural freshness picked from the garden! 
I have kept a few of the supplies that I reach out too quite often, so that I get to see this beauty.
Did I tell you that I altered a wooden caddy??? How could I if I dint have one...
No sweats..but I have THIS!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I love to hear from you.
