Center Piece

Making a new center piece for my kitchen table.
First I had a box made out of wood
then painted it a cream color and let ti dry and cure.
  Next I  painted it white.
 While paint was still wet 
I took my cooking torch and held it
to the paint in areas till it bubbled.
Then I waited till the paint dried.
Next I took a fine piece of sandpaper an sanded
the box.(where the wood shows is where the bubbles were)
 I was pleased how it turned out.
  I then set in wide mouth quart jars
w/ white candles in them and wrapped twine around the neck of the jar.
and filled the open space  w/ moss.
 I like the patina it has.
The box is new but yet it looks old and worn.

Have a Blessed Easter
