OH I like that!!!! it's really cool and I agreee with leaving some paint showing too. and yes I went and saw the blue bottle plaque too! I love it, black was the way to go for sure. It's very cool. I love your shard work, its so lively and seems to have Hispanic influences

I think it has RedHead influences! It is beautiful Slow, I love the paint showing too. I saw the blue bottle too, I think it is gorgeous. You have been busy...doing a great job as always. Carol

I love it. It looks vintage. Like the paint on it also.

Oh, I like that! You come up with the most wonderful ideas. Love the paint showing too.
I too liked the blue bottles, very pretty.

I like it a lot! Good idea to leave the paint showing too. It does give it that "primitive" look.

OH Slow that is GREAT!! I am so much a green person. The old green is so appealing. Love the blue squiggles. I have some squiggles. I MUST start using them.

I can't find the hearts. I will go digging for them.

Slow that is great I too like the squiggle side, I'll have to remember that! Thanks for posting, you inspire me.

Yep, I sneaked a peek yesterday! I tend to go to your album for inspiration.. you are my queen afterall!
I rally like the box, and I'm glad you left some area clear of mosaic. It shows so much more of it's original character.
I can just imagine this with a "sticky" arrangement in it, or towels, or magazines...
Beautiful!!

Love that box! Great job

Slow- I did look at the heart plaque yesterday but I swear it wasnt done yet so I didnt comment. Your shine box is really cute and like bama said will look great with stuff inside it!!!

I still love your heart plaque...I just went and looked at it finished and it looks good. If you would've use grey grout I think you wouldve been disappointed as it just doesnt make it pop. I even darken my charcoal grout when I use it to make it even darker!!!!

A SHOE SHINE BOX! I have one of these, that I have used for years as a magazine holder, and never knew that's what it was. Frankly I've never really liked the shape of it, but WAS recently looking at it as a TBM, and now I see yours! Well, what do you know! It may soon have a new life, thanks to the ever-inspiration SLOW! Thank you!

I didn't even see this anywhere? Don't know where you come up with everything and when you eat or sleep! Another great Your Slowness!

Good job on the shine box!Q:That dark round thing on the side, what is it?? A glass rondel? The heart plaque POPS!! AND I saw the finished Mexico shrine and ANGEL!!!! LOVELY!!!

Love that box, Slow!
I like that you left the inside unpainted... less is better sometimes (your wastebasket gift for CJ, too.) Both were a great choice!

I have a similar shaped box. Probably 100 years ago... in a tole painting stage of my life.. I painted it. Most things from them have gone by the wayside... but you've given me an idea of how to bring it out again and use it in a different way! Thank you!

And as alway.. thanks for the wonderful inspiration!

The shoe shine box is charming! I like it showing it's age. Gosh I wish I had one to mosaic.

The black grout on the heart plaque looks great! Perfect accent.

Love your shoe shine box and the use of the squiggles. Very creative!

Thanks y'all. Couldn't get back here yesterday. I built a frame for my next project. CALAM - the round thing is a lamp part. Notice the rusty square on the rock side? That's from the hardware store we visited in P.V. The shine box w/be a gift for Grand D.

The black grout on the heart piece was the perfect chioce...
very cool piece! The shoeshine box is really great too.
Love all the unexpected things you use. Awesome as usual
Slow.
