Three passions in one!

I love old, wooden, neglected boxes. I have a house full of them. I also love the Union Jack and the color olive. I might love olive too much, but eh. I planned to paint this box in traditional colors but doing that gave me the screaming heebie-jeebies. I switched to olive. Ahhhhhh, so much better. So here's my latest Union Jack.

I used a combination of acrylic, milk and chalk paint at random, depending on what color I had available. Then I waxed it with clear soft wax. It is very rustic looking, much like the dresser i posted earlier. Straight to etsy.com it goes!
