This small wood box is painted in fluid acrylics in the “Fool the Eye” style of Trompe L’Oeil. Yes it is all paint: The three cards and the marble (inside and out) are all part of the illusion. It is 6″ X 4″ X 2″ , $80 plus shipping.

Dog and Marble Table
This was a very unusual table! The clients arrived with both the table and a real dog, asking me to transform their table to look like their Visla breed dog. In addition to changing the solid black sculpted base into the golden brown hues of their dog, I also painted the top and the base to look like rich, black marble. Of course the undersides are also painted like marble to support the illusion that it is real stone! (I’ve included a photo of what the table arrived looking like).
Hogwarts Treasure Chest Box
This Hogwart’s treasure chest was painted to hold handmade crocheted Harry Potter figurines. It was a lovely combined effort between myself and another artist! I painted faux finishes all around with “leather” straps and brass rivets, edgings and protective corners. I tried to make the inside look like old trunks used to! It is about 12 “X 7″X4 “.
Rocks and Stones Box
I just love painting rocks! This 12″ X 8″ X 3″ box has faux painted marble sides and bottom. Sorry but this gem was sold as soon as I put it in a show. I’d love to paint another if you want one!
