Texture. Shimmer. Heart.
This project is all about soulful transformation — turning a small, simple wooden box into something rich with meaning, colour, and golden glow.
In this class, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a beautiful mixed-media box with an antique, embossed metal look, soft earthy colours, and a lot of shimmer and sparkle that feels like it belongs in a treasure trove.
Inspired by warm copper and gold tones, delicate peach and rose hues, and a gentle touch of amethyst purple, this piece brings together vintage charm, metallic magic, and practical home décor ideas — whether you want to make a jewellery box, a memory chest, or a heartfelt gift.
The lotus-inspired design on top adds an extra dose of elegance and symbolism, while the copper glow and softly worn textures give this piece its timeless feel.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
- create a faux embossed metal effect using stencils, metallic flakes, and mixed-media layering
- build a dimensional top composition with elements that reflect the style and colour palette of the whole piece
- apply Liquid Acrylic Paints, Metallic Waxes, and Antiquing Waxes for glowing, aged finishes
- choose and combine colours for a harmonious, warm, vintage look
- make your project durable and functional — ideal for holding, gifting, or decorating your space
The class is fully pre-recorded and edited to be easy to follow — no filler, just helpful steps, close-up details, and everything you need to recreate the magic at home.
This class is great for all skill levels, and the techniques can be adapted with your favourite colours, stencils, and surfaces.

Finnabair
You might know me as Finnabair, but my real name is Anna Dabrowska-Pekocka, and I’m a mixed-media artist, teacher, coach and product designer.
Transforming and upcycling everyday objects is the cornerstone of my craft; to make this “casual magic” possible for everyone, I develop approachable techniques for all skill levels. Between textures and paint, my love for dimensional artwork shaped my distinctive style. Mix in expressive freedom, awakening a creative spark each person holds inside, and therapeutic, releasing powers of art, and you’ll have a picture of my core values.
What had started as a hobby, in 2011 transformed into teaching in-person mixed media classes with immediate success. In 2013, I established a long-term relationship with one of the top craft suppliers worldwide, Prima Marketing; since then, I have counted myself among the most active and best-known product designers in the mixed-media world. The products I come up withstand out thanks to their distinctive style, which is unique to my brand, and blur the line between craft supplies, home décor, and fine art.
After over ten years on the market, I’m one of the most recognizable and experienced professional teachers in my field. My classes are in great demand, and I continuously strive to deliver the best possible experience and quality to my students. Being able to say that I successfully turned my passion into a full-time job is an incredible feeling.
My mission? To continue this magical, artistic journey, and guide, teach and encourage as many creative souls as I can on their path of self-discovery.
Art is always the Answer.
