Recently I was asked to decorate a box for a fundraiser and so, inspired by this year's 52 WEEKS PROJECT I decided to add wildflowers...columbine, crocus, fireweed, Labrador tea and paintbrush. Though I wasn't very happy with it while in progress, I love how it turned out.

Hi Veronica,
Just a note of appreciation. Love your little fundraising box. Hope it brings lots of $ for the cause. Wondering what sort of finish (if any) you put on your box, I have a similar project I'm working on and am curious as to what you might recommend. I am thoroughly enjoying your wildflower series. I am also going to make prayer flags to hang along my front porch- I'm also tying little bells along the strand for a windchime effect. Many blessings, Mary

Hi Mary...I finish my pieces with a varnish, sometimes gloss, sometimes matt, and sometimes half & half (more of an eggshell finish). These days I've been using gloss medium & varnish as it works as a varnish but also to thin my heavy body acrylics for glazing. I have also used a spray but always feel guilty about using sprays due to environmental concerns. I hope that helps.

What a terrific idea to use bells! Love it!
