Mila Project's Royal Rabbit takes his place (front and center) on this newly redone Wonderland keepsake box. The super cool decopauge paper is from ITD. I cut out the figures from the paper to suit the rabbit's pocket watch theme that I was going for. The grungy look was achieved by using a dry brush technique with black paint, and skimming over areas in an uneven way with metallic wax. What do you think? Available at Great Kingdom Emporium in Oxford, Maine.

Guess who's having a chair workshop at Great Kingdom Emporium in Oxford, Maine? Actually two workshops. One on Monday, June 8th at 9 am, the other on Wednesday, June 10th at 9 am.
These could possibly be the only furniture related workshops that I offer, so if you're one of the many people that have asked me for one, here's your chance!
You'll learn how to decopauge onto furniture, how to paint leather or vinyl, blending, and more. You'll also get to keep the incredible chair that you decorate.
Registration fee is $150.00. All materials for the project are included. Because of space limits, each class will be limited to just 4 participants, so there might not be a lot of time to wait to register. Payment can be made to me through Venmo, or paid at the register at GKE.
Images that you can choose from are in the comments. Some of the images are very limited in quantity so be sure to get the one you want by letting me know what your choice is when you register.
The pics of the three finished chairs are just to show you what the chair shape is and give you an idea of how much space on the chair your chosen image will take up.
