A Sweet Valdres Keepsake Box
105.00
Everyone needs a place for their keepsakes…their wishes, their secrets, their dreams.This little box is the perfect place to keep any or all of those things and more.Join Kim for a class painting a small box in the Valdres style of rosemaling.It would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, graduation or a birthday, (or to keep for yourself).
Kim will be painting in oils but acrylic painters are welcome of course.
Here’s what you’ll need:
A small box: The project measures 6” wide x 4” deep x 3” high.Something like a recipe box would work.You can choose any style you wish, or you may already have something just waiting to be painted.The pattern can be altered as needed.
Background colors:I used Americana Dioxazine Purple and Warm White.Of course, if purple is not your first choice you can use any colors you like.You may want to use a more traditional color palette.The actual design uses primarily traditional Valdres colors.
