decoupage: key cabinet #1

There is something intriguing about the idea of a "key cabinet". It's a miniature cupboard which is decorative in itself, on the one hand, and on the other - it solves the perennial problem of "who has seen the cellar key?" or "where on earth is the workshop key, it was supposed to be in the top left drawer!".

The first key cabinet I made was for our place. I called it "A'la Gitarra". It shows a fragment from Myles Sullivan's work. I was amazed at the whiteness of the guitarist's shirt, and that music is almost audible when you look.


The technique: paper napkin decoupage + acrylic paint for the front picture. The rest of the cabinet - transparent wood varnish.
