I learned such a lot from Andy Skinner's course and for the final assemblage I wanted to showcase as many of the techniques as possible. The effects are mostly achieved with paint plus a few other items and were such fun to do. (If you want to know how and want to know more then have a peep over at Andy Skinner for his excellent online workshops, http://www.andyskinnercrafts.com/online-workshops.html. Sorry, but I can't reveal techniques gained from the class, it wouldn't be right or fair on Andy and I would be in breach of copyright.)
The chest is constructed from chipboard which came in boxes of envelopes and is based on a paatern from Laura Denison (I altered the proportions a bit) and the whole thing took me nearly two weeks (on and off) to complete (mainly because I kept thinking of other things to add to it!) If you want to see more views then the original post is here.
Before I go, I just want to thank you for visiting my blog in 2012 - it's the first year I've really taken the time to share my creations and I appreciate all the lovely comments you've taken the trouble to leave. Being a bit of a Blog Lurker myself I am always inordinately pleased when someone comments - thank you all. Especial thanks to those of you who have chosen to follow me.
Anyway, hope you have a happy new year and I'll see you in 2013!

Beautiful work! Thanks for joining us at anything but a card!
I really enjoyed his course too but didn't do a finished piece at the end - shame on me! I LOVE this piece Keren, just everything about it makes me drool quite frankly! You are right to be proud of it. Wonderful rusting and paint finish here.
Happy New Year to you!
Thanks for joining us at Anything But A Card this time with such a fab make!
