Keepsake box for Swirly!

[Sommerwood]

The lovely Swirlyarts commissioned me to make a keepsake box for her daughters christening, which I finished today! Have sent her photos and she loves it (phew!) and said I can share it with you all .... so here it is ....







Boxes are something I had been meaning to get round to doing for quite some time but just hadn't had the time, when she e-mailed me to ask if I could it was a great opportunity to put everything else to one side for a couple of days and have a go. I loved making it, was a real pleasure, and I owe her a BIG thank you for pushing me into getting round it it!!

Just waiting for the glittery bits to dry and then will post it out to you Swirly!!

Hmmm, not got the hang of posting pics in here have I !!!!

It's lovely. Something that she could keep forever.

About the pics - instead of copying the http code, copy the img code instead that way they will show up on your post without having to click into them.

Just been on your web shop and I really like what you do.
Are the Keepsake boxes a new line that you're doing - if so can you give us a shout when you get them on your web page, please - they are really fantastic.

Thanks Annette Yes, thanks to Swirly I will be putting my butt in gear and adding these to my range, but not for a couple of weeks as have some craft fairs for the next few weekends so am busy getting ready for them, but will be adding them in the first week in June!

Wow Sommer, that is lovely - I love the colours and am sure Tara will love it!!! Have just been looking at your website too and you have some lovely things on there. Great stuff for kids especially. Your craft fair stall looks good too - good luck with the up and coming fair/s!

Its really pretty!!! Love the bold pinks.


Did you make the box?


I paint boxes but always buy them in blank, haven't got round to pushing my woodworking skills as far as making boxes - just cut my blank shapes!

Very Swirly Girly......

Great stuff!

Well done you!
