My friend Sid suggested I added something to the front of the box, like an oasis image. Of course! What a brilliant idea! I am so happy when you guys send me suggestions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, first, I mix a nice dessert color\u2026 naples yellow, white, deep azo yellow and warm grey mixed with medium to make it transparent, and then add layer upon layer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And what is an oasis without palm-trees? The trick here was to make them work both ways. Both with the motif that\u00b4s already on there, and 90 degrees as a standing cabinet door.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the knob I decided to just make one of all my oodles of beads lying around waiting to be used. The wood in the door is quite thin, so I needed to find just the right length screw. Which I didn\u00b4t. So I added another bead underneath the red ceramic one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To hide the screw, I glued down a little metallic-plastic bead. And then I painted the underneath bead for contrast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then, thanks again to deMeng<\/a>, I finished it all with a washed coat of the usuzch\u2026 (how does he spell that home-made impossible word? It\u00b4s short for the usual, by the way)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh yes! Much better! Don\u00b4t you agree? Thanks Sid! (Below is how it was earlier today for comparisment)<\/p>\n

Now I need tips for the inside of the lid. Anyone?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Come to think of it, I do have a cool camel-portrait of the camel I was riding in Egypt. Maybe he should get the honor (?) of decorating the inside?<\/p>\n
