¡Me encanta esta idea!
El otro día compré café molido en Starbucks y me lo dieron en una bolsa de papel y pensé en ti... ¿Qué tal pintar algo ahí?

Un gran saludo.

Ooooh, nice! Did you draw a pattern first? Did you need to prepare the wood surface before using the ink? I have a couple of cigar boxes, and this looks like a great technique! Thank you.

I love it!

Just beautiful. I really like the white on the wood. And you did such a spectacular job incorporating the box design into your art.

Such a good idea, painting on the box cover. The white lets the design of the box show through and everything is incorporated so nicely! I have a cigar box at home that might need a makeover after seeing this!

I adore this!
the contrast in the wood and the original image is so great - I love how the crown rests on the bird.
have a beautiful weekend

I am curious as to what brand of white pen you use it seems to work flawlessly.
I love your art and check it out everyday. It is just one of those cheery things that add something nice to my day.
