"Lost" Boxes Part 1

Last week I got motivated and started to clean out my studio. While cleaning up I "found" a collection of at least 14 boxes and some other items that were completed. Some were awaiting sanding or other finishing details. So I have decided to complete all of these items. Each box takes me approximatly
half an hour to sand.

Pen boxes

After making so many pens I figured it was time to make something to hold the finished pens in. Previously I have shown off my pens in the orginal cardboard box I bought them in, that wasn't quite the display I was looking for. So i created 2 boxes based around the cardboard box I bought the pens in. These 2 boxes are all clay and as of this moment haven't been sanded.

A pair of dreamy hearts

Over the last week I created a pair of stacking boxes. My biggest adventure with these boxes was learning how to make the lids fit over the box. (like a shoe box lid) It was a little tricky but it worked out. These dreamy little boxes were a lot of fun to create. I hope that you can tell in the pictures how the lids fit. Thanks for looking. I'd love to hear from you how you like my little boxes and the colours I'm using.
