Beautiful, it's to be treasured
Amazing, the talent and patience to make such an intricate and beatiful thing. Bigger than expected, and has hinged lid. I am going to buy other boxes from this collection. I have a suggestion for the artist (and any of the artists selling here): if there is sufficient space and doesn't affect your art, carve or write your name, initials, or a symbol, into your finished work. You should be recognized for your talent and exfraordinary skill.
Exquisite Gift
This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.
