Design Team Member Shamela Hendriks Travel Trunk

 Dear Reader

Shamela has created this travel trunk from scratch for your inspiration.  She has a video for you to see over on her YouTube channel.  Do go and take a look!

This is such a great piece to have on your desk or coffee table to store items in.

The handle is taken from the mould K3PTA484 and the whole trunk has been painted with Allegro Terra d'Ombra KAL106 and Nero KaL03 with Cerantica wax to bring out the details of the textures.

Here you can see the clear crackle paste and the part of of stencil KSG454 where she has just used the roses to create a pattern on the trunk.  

The handles of the drawers are from Mould K3PTA482 and give it a great industrial look.

I love how she used the back of the Airship paper to line the trunk, just like vintage suitcases and trunks used to have!

The "stickers" are taken from various sheets of the Sir and Lady Vagabond pads to mimic the way the trunks used to get labeled when they were used to travel on the ships around the world.

I think it is so clever of Shamela to use the gear mould as feet for the trunk which you can see below!

I love all the attention to detail and look forward to what Shamela will create to go in the "empty space" of this trunk next to the drawers...
