Description This is part 2 of my trade with ! It took me a while to finish this... I had to paint it THREE times!
The first time I painted it, I finished it off with a new marker for the outlines. Then, when putting the varnish on I realized that the marker was not water proof so it smeared all over the paint and I had to paint it all again. I was almost done when I spilled paint all over it and had to start from scratch AGAIN! The third time round it worked out perfectly though

The top of the box shows Victor and Victoria from Corpse Bride (I never understood why Victor and Corpse Bride are usually the depicted couple, especially for wedding cake toppers... he didn't WANT to marry her, he loved another woman! Why would one want to have a couple like that on a wedding cake?? WTF are you trying to say with that?? just baffles me...).
The sides show:
front: Vincent Malloy
right side: Beetlejuice
back: Vincent Malloy as Vincent Price
left side: Jack Skellington
All hand painted. The inside lid features Stain Box and the bottom of course shows a big stain that he left
The box is sealed with a matte sealer outside and a high gloss varnish inside and on the characters outside.
I hope she'll like the box

Materials used:
wooden box, acrylics, WATERPROOF marker , matte varnish, high gloss varnish

Thanks! There's only one of them... so, unless you make your own, you're out of luck.

Thanks, however, there are a few things in the way of selling these.
1. with the amount of time involved in painting a box like this, I'd have to charge $150-$200 to even make it worth my time.
2. the characters are copyrighted and using them to make money would be a violation of the law, I am an artist who respects other artist's creations enough to not try to make money off them.

OH, It's SO beautiful!!! I wish I could have a box like this Oh, and I think you're absolutely right about Victor and Victoria and about wedding cake toppers I prefer toppers with V&V And yes, who wants a wedding cake topper in which the groom doesn't love that bride, but another one?
