A wordy set

 

I have now completed the set of 14 boxes. It has taken me about a month to create the boxes from scratch. There are many steps involved and it all takes time. As I was adding the embellishments to the boxes I had idea to repeat something I have done in the past. Each box has been filled with 6 words stamped into polymer clay. I don’t know how people use my boxes after they are purchased but this time I decided to sell the boxes filled with words and hopefully they will provide inspiration to the owners.

box with words This is an example of a box filled with words.

I may approach a new venue soon and hope that I can find a second location to sell my creations. Up next on my table is a journal cover for a swap. After then I must start commission I was offered in spring. The client wants the item completed as a special Christmas gift. The project is a little daunting but I think I am ready to get it started.

Yes Louise, each box is completly made from scratch and all polymer clay. There is no paint involved nor paper mache box hidden in the layers of clay. Thanks for your comment!
