Civil War Memory Primitive Medium Drum Box with Drummer Boy Tag

Description

Sweet Liberty Memories...

Here we have my new primitive Drum box. So old and worn looking, with lots of detail and special touches.

The drum box is 7" in diameter and 4" tall. It is made of paper mache, and finished in a 9 step process, for an authentic vintage look! The drum has one of my approx 2"x5" large extra grubby, super grungy prim tags.

The drum is dark red with a crackled ivory top and bottom and black rims around the top and bottom. There is gold rubbed on the rims, to resemble the remains of shiny paint from long ago. The roping around the drum is natural brown. The drums are heavily distressed and antiqued, and finished with matte sealer. Inside the box is stained dark brown.

I was inspired by the story of 10 year old Civil War drummer Johnny Clem in making these drums...on the tags is a reprinted antique photo of a young boy (this is not a photo of the real Johnny Clem), with "Johnny 1861" stamped at the bottom.

I have a larger version of this box and smaller drum ornaments. When these are gone, they are gone! From my smoke free home!
