BOX 001:
Outer dimensions: About 6" x 6" x 3.5"

NOT FOR SALE. (Sorry, I gotta keep some of these. This one holds my pretty rocks.)


BOX 002:
Outer dimensions: 5 5/16" x 3 5/16" x 3 9/16"

Someone better buy this one quick before I decide to keep it.
It's not lined with anything. It doesn't need to be.

UPDATE: Too late, it's sold!


BOX 003:
Outer dimensions: 3 3/8" x 2 1/8" x 2"

Definately very sparkly, like a holiday! This one's done up in as much glitter as I could gob onto it. The main panels are coated with a special color-changing paint that's either black or dark purple, depending on the angle. Blue and silver stars (or flowers, whichever you like) bring the design together. A sparkly black felt material lines the interior top and bottom panels.


BOX 004:
Outer dimensions: 1 1/2" (not counting dangly things) x 31/4" (diameter)

Oh, go ahead and giggle. I think it's cool. You can bend the antennae any which way.
Inside: more of that faux velvet stuff.


BOX 005:
Outer dimensions: 3 3/8" x 2 1/8" x 2"

You might recognize this box shape from the glitter monster above. Well, you're right -- I bought two, exactly the same! But this one called out to be painted in a sort of eastern-oriental design, so I looked carefully through all of my clip-art books to find just the right pattern. There were so many beautiful designs to choose from that I had to make up my own. The inside has no linng, but is painted with metallic gold.


BOX 006:
Outer dimensions: 3 5/8" x 2 1/8" x 2 9/16"

This features an outer-space scene on top, and a hi-tech computer front design along the front and sides. (The blue lines are just highlights that came out in the photo -- they don't appear on the actual piece.) The interior is lined with black faux velvet.

This has been lying around for awhile, and when I was taking pictures I noticed that the lower right corner is warped. Poo.


BOX 007:
Outer dimensions: 6" (not counting lid) x 4" (diameter)

This one was fun to make. Gold and silver paper (two points to anyone who can tell me where the paper came from!), outlined in black tendrils, a beaded drape around a beaded rim, and a funky attached lid wrapped in cloth with a jaunty gold bow. The interior is lined with the same cloth that covers the lid. How often do I get to use the word "jaunty" in daily conversation?


BOX 008:
Outer dimensions: 5 7/16" x 3" x 3 1/4"

The main body is a pink-black-and-coppery jumble of sqiggles while the front and side panels bear a neat design that I cut out of a magazine (it was a picture of a balcony railing). There's a big clunky bead on the front, and hand-colored plastic chips provide a nice frame for everything. Inside is a thin black cotton (?) lining. The wood is slightly "distressed", and this adds to the interesting patterns of the piece.


BOX 009:
Outer dimensions: 5 3/8" x 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

SOLD!

Yow! Loosing teeth is a common dream-anxiety. Here's something to put them in until you wake up. Straight from the Grimagix Division of Nightmares, who painstakingly lined it with thin black cloth to protect your enamel from chipping. The pictures don't show it very well, but the teeth are made from shell beads and each has a little hole right in the middle. Someone needs to brush more thoroughly.
