Boxes

As I create books and more books, often I find I am left with 'little pieces' of book binding materials that are too big to dispose of, so I find myself creating smaller versions of books and boxes.  I started playing one day with the various 'left-over shapes' of material and my creativity kicked into gear.  As you can see, these gift boxes are not the basic square and rectangle.  I have used leather to line the insides and cover the outsides, recycled old earings, buttons and incorporated parts of peacock feathers.  Most often the recipients of these boxes use them for jewellery or stationery.  It's always nice to know how my creations are being used.
