my beloved kitchen cabinet



I was playing with a few colours here: white, black, turquoise, grey. I used brushes and sponge (the white was applied with a sponge: you can see a different pattern here).
The spoon and the fork: I used a medium transfer gel (there're plenty different ones so no problem to buy).
All protected with satin varnish and now is in my kitchen :-)
