Primer Gesso Coat on Jewelry Box and Bird Dyed Blue

Progress has been made on my current Altered Art Jewelry box. I was able to paint the base Gesso coat on the  Jewelry box. It is now ready for the color to be applied. I also dyed the automaton bird a beautiful Cerulean blue based off of a photo pf a Brazilian blue bird. I still need to set the dye with the chemical fixative and paint the beak a golden yellow. 




Painted the bird beak yellow. Turns out, for dying a vintage bird, setting the dye is not recommended, so I will let the little birdie be...it just needs to be kept out of the rain ;)




That's all for now!
