This bundle includes the photos and instructions for this new design, a traditionally hand crafted oval bentwood box. The box is made out of poplar in the traditional manner without any nails. The wood is bent and then secured using wood pegs and stitching on the side. Traditionally stitched pieces are becoming a very scarce commodity and we've worked for nearly a year to accumulate enough of these. The box measures 7 1/4" long x 5"wide and 4" tall. An heirloom piece for sure.
The new design will only be available as a bundle as we work to help keep our craftsmen partners busy during these times. It uses a new Os palette featuring toning with Trans Magenta. Color worksheets for toning the palette and design are included.
We have a large yard and the neighbor's kitties love to hunt in it. Our old puppy, John, is a good gentleman and doesn't mind the intrusion on his property. One kitty is a very large black one with white trim, he inspired this one. I do think I may have given him too many whiskers- but I was having fun. Please enjoy.
