Painted jewelry box

We all get inspirations from somewhere or someone.  My good friend Betsy is very creative and inspired me to paint furniture.  We have a little different style, but we both love the bright colors.  This was my first piece that I painted.  I bought the jewelry box off of craigslist, but it was brand new.  The most important thing I learned from this piece is to use a good primer.  I had to paint way too many coats of these colors to get it dark enough.  I think it took me six months to finish this one piece.
