A few years ago, I made alot of boxes that I took to some craft shows. The shows I picked were not good ones, so I didn't sell many boxes. I haven't given up, though. I am thinking about selling boxes again. I made the box above over the weekend. I borrowed the picture idea from Donna Dewberry. I am going to practice some of her ideas until I get better at making pictures, and then I will do my own compositions. The photo above is a little blurry, I know. My camera does a terrible job on close ups. The box still needs to have the hardware installed and a lining put inside, but I wanted to post it anyways. I'll be interested in comments on it.

I Am Trying My Luck Making Boxes . . . Again
A few years ago, I made alot of boxes that I took to some craft shows. The shows I picked were not good ones, so I didn't sell many boxes. I haven't given up, though.

Your box is beautiful. You're too hard on yourself!
Love your work. I'd be interested in the little bench/stool with the forget-me-nots on them. I live in Ohio between Akron and Medina. Where can people buy your things? Do you sell on Etsy? You can reply in these comments.
To Kristi --
Sorry for taking so long to answer your comment. . . I didn't know how to submit a comment to my own blog and my daughter told me how to do it. . . Thank you for the kind words about my work. . . I am presently not selling my work anywhere as it is winter time . . . I have never tried to sell on Etsy feeling that many of the things I make are rather large and the shipping would be costly. . .I am hoping to start a small shop here at my house where I can sell my work, hopefully sometime this year . . . Thanks for your interest
Your woodworking is beautiful. I came upon your blog through your daughter's. I can't wait to take time to snoop around and read your archives.
My father used to make all kinds of things for me. I would show him a picture and say this is what I want and he figured it out and drew up the plans. He is now in his 80's and no longer building things. I cherish the benches, sofa table, and china cabinet he made for me (along with numerous other items). So, I say "way to go" and don't forget to give your family some of your treasures as keep sakes.
I love all of your creations..
