Hybrid mini cone box
« on: March 17, 2013, 05:39:25 PM »
hello folks

I've just made this new box- it has a mix of orange silver and black resin....
...and proved very tricky to photograph!!

3 1/8" tall by 2 3/8" wide

Hi George
Absolutely stunning piece!

George,

what can we say, the resin colour mix is amazing but the quality of your finish, you go from strength to strength.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Hi George. That's a lovely box. It makes me think of amber with included insects. Beautifully finished as well. Malcolm.
