Abanico Azul (Blue Fan)

007-05

If you’ve always wanted to learn how to paint lace and frills, this project is ideal. Inspired by my other home, Spain, this “Blue Fan” project features a lace and frill fan painted in two colours only – blue and white. The insides of the box have been given a pearlised background and white roses decorate the inside cover. Roses and ribbons have also been painted on the front side of the box. The very unique fan box is ideal as a jewellery box, chocolate box or simply a decorative piece for your salon.
