TEA BOX FOR LONDON UNDERGROUND LOVERS

Here's a personalised gift for a very special friend of mine. I believe this is my best work so far which took a while to complete.

I coated the wooden box with olive wood tint and distressed it with white paste. Then transferred vintage London underground images onto the lid and front side of the box. After a couple of  coats of  satin varnish I used a stencil and iron paste to create some 3d reliefs on the lid and then polished them with sandpaper.

Finally I doodled a heart and pressed a happy birthday stamp inside the lid to mark the occassion.
