Do I talk about anything else these days?!
I just thought I ought to post some pictures of my finished box for the swap, because if nothing else I know my mommy wants to see them…
So here we go:
Outside of box
the latch is made from two old earrings and a copper wire (that I annealed and shaped wif my own two hands in jewelry-making class *smug*)
–detail view of latch, and Douglas Fairbanks’ handsomely be-buttoned eyes…
outside of box
opened, with everything packed inside
–Those are handmade teeny tiny clay buttons Douglas is sporting, in traditional black.
Unpacked.
The finished Other Mother portrait. I have to find another picture of it where you can see her articulated arm better–there are tiny brass eyelets that let her arm move when you pull the thread, so she in turn pulls the thread that she’s sewing the doll’s eye on with. She also has a very tiny real needle in her hand…I was pretty happy with how she turned out.
Tortoise and little box
And finally, the seeing stone, in its little velvet-lined box–it turned out really pretty (it’s polished polymer clay). I might have to do one for myself, too…
So that’s it! It was so much fun to make…I even tea-dyed the paper for the labels and burned the edges to make it look old… I really think I’m going to look for another vintage cigar box and make another one soon–I have more ideas!
…with my inspired-by-Coraline tortoise.
He’s got his shell attached now and I just need to do a couple little nit-picky things and then he’s done. He is very handsome, I think you’ll agree:
Aww! Isn’t he cool? I wish the colors in his shell showed up better, but you can see the texture of it at least.
This one gives you a better view of his face (while kind of making it look like one of his back legs has disappeared–it hasn’t, it’s just my elite photography skillz at work again):
And I didn’t want to post a million views of him because I’m trying not to be TOO boring, but he has teeeny little vertebrae for his neck, and a little bone tail, too. ^_^
Well, as usual I’m doing this instead of doing schoolwork so I guess I’d better get back to it–*snivel*–but The Other Mother drawing is shaping up nicely, so hopefully I’ll get a chance to post a scan of that soon.
