. . . and I had finished the sides.
It was time to start on the lid, period or not I enjoy carving the lids. It gives me a little chance to work on a larger piece and the lid can really draw the piece together. With that in mind I try to pull elements from both the front and the sides..JPG)

I had the main parts of the box finished.

But I had the inside of the box to worry about and I wasnt sure what to do. At the time I was preparing this piece to include in an art gallery show Id been invited to. The show eventually canceled (But the good news is I secured the opportunity to carry my own show once I have enough pieces built up, Its gonna be a busy year for me I think) I wanted to do or try something different.
In the middle of trying to figure it out I had the chance to take my oldest daughter to the Milwaukee Art Museum. I had an amazing day and took many, many, many pictures of their selection from the Chipstone furniture collection. I also got a look at this Game Chest, carved and inlaid and the inside was lined with marbled paper.
I remembered marbelizing paper back in one of my old art classes, it wasnt too difficult of a thing to do. A few minutes searching the web and I found the recipes I needed. A little liquid starch and a little acrylic paint later and I had something to work with.

In case there is any interest I shot some video of the process.
A quick note: The music I selected for the video was performed by a friend of my Travis Oppelt, He is a great musician, writing and playing all the instruments in every song on his album "Youll Never Stop Me" under the band name TravAce. If you enjoyed the song in the video then support another starving artist and download the album at Amazon.com and iTunes. You can see more of his stuff on YouTube as well.
