Description
A shot of the octopus on the wood box that it's attached to. I bought the box unpainted and stained it with dark blue and green watered down acrylic and then brushed brown wax over the whole thing. Then I used a heat gun to melt the wax in to the pores. I was really happy with the end result. Hope you like it!Related content
