Where is Your Treasure?

Well you must know by now if you have looked over my humble blog that I love nothing better than to take something that no one finds value in anymore and give it a second chance to bring joy.  I found a few "unwanteds" in my stash and decided it was their turn to get a chance at being loved again.  I thought I had a "Before" picture but I think my camera ate it, it does that from time to time it is getting older just like me and tends to be a bit temperamental like me too! : O

 This piece started out as an old military trunk that was by the wayside and a rickety old bench I found that needed love. I put them together and painted them antique white and gave them a glaze bath of dark brown.

 The graphic are from "The Graphic Fairy".  They are just the best site ever for vintage images! I used the "Citra Solve" method for transferring my images to the chest.  I am still learning and but overall am pretty happy with the outcome of this piece. (I have to admit I did probably several "do overs" before I was satisfied.)

 I made the graphic for the saying on the front of the trunk, well not me actually it was God it is from the Bible, Matthew 6:21 to be exact.  I thought it was fitting to it being a treasure chest and all that I put something on it to make me think about where I store my own treasure.
