An earring box for Ali. Putting together a piece from multiple parts is time consuming but it's an enjoyable challenge to try and get the proportions right. The cherry was from a log in the woods behind our house which had been felled a number of years ago and there was only a little of solid timber to get out of it. Thanks to Gary Wall for his gift of some ebony blanks.
The second and third pieces each have a band of antiqued foil which is a new technique I'm working on.
The last two pieces have rims painted with iridescent paints.
