I’ve been busy with other things, but tonight I had a little time and the itch to make a mini. I went into my box of small kits and took out the griffin box from Lisa’s Little Things bought at one of the local shows.

The pieces are already separated and ready for assembly.

I assembled the lower box and then brushed on Liquitex silver paint. The instructions recommend a sponge brush and lightly sweeping across the raised areas. I was so-so at it. I got a little silver on the inner portions.

I added a red paint wash to the recessed areas to bump up the richness of color. After the painting, I glued the top in place.

It’s a great kit and super easy to put together. The results look very rich.
