Bloodletters

I've always loved boxes. They speak to me of mystery and magic, secrets and treasure. Ever since I was a young child, I've loved having little treasured boxes of my own to hide small keepsakes and wonders in.

Now I make these. I find wooden boxes in thrift stores, repaint them, decoupage designs onto their surface, often line them. Make them into something a little more than they were. Each one is unique.

I've been selling these at science-fiction convention art shows for a couple of years now, and they're getting pretty popular. When I have new designs available for purchase, you'll find them here as well -- if you have secrets of your own you want to hide.

	Forest King The timeless face of the Green Man gazes serenely out at the viewer. Box is the dark mottled green of deep forests. Features dark green suedelike lining SOLD at Norwescon 28, 2005
	Frankenstein Front: "By the dim and yellow light of the moon, as it forced its way through the window shutters, I beheld the wretch - the miserable monster whom I had created." Top: "Oh! no mortal could support the horrow of that countenance. A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then; but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became such a thing as even Dante could not have conceived." Not for sale
