Inspecting the Monkey Toy Box

All Monkeys Welcome

"You'll be in good company!"
I finally finished collaging the Monkey Toy Box for a toddler birthday surprise last weekend. I had an old lidded box that needed a new life and a complete face lift.
To cover it, I tore brown textured magazine pages into strips and using gel medium, adhered it to the box and lid. Then I dabbed brown acrylic paint on with a sponge to even out the color. I cut out flowers from scrapbook paper and used decorative hole punch cut outs and stickers for decoration.
Earlier this summer, with this project in mind, I had illustrated a monkey, called Monkey and Map. I cut out the shape of his head and adhered all the decoration with medium gel gloss, giving it a smooth finish and adding a nice coating to secure paper edges. Hopefully this will keep little toddler fingers from peeling up edges in their spare time!
