A selection of decorative boxes, vessels, containers, etc.
Boxes are an ideal format for expressing creativity and pushing the boundries of design. They can be playful and whimsical, "arty", or highly functional. The sculptural quality of these small gems is what sets them apart from the ordinary. Whether or not they're actually used for storage is almost beside the point.
Their designs can be derived from a wide variety of sources, from organic or manmade forms to other artists' work. It's also.an opportunity to recycle cutoffs from larger pieces, keeping waste to a minimum. I seldom throw away scraps so I can use them for things like these boxes, some of the clocks and mirrors, and other small projects. Often the shapes of the leftovers will spark an idea. I can try ideas on a small scale that might later translate into a much larger project. I hesitate to say that these are the result of "thinking outside the box", but, really, that's what it is.
The boxes picured below are, for the most part, unique; a few use the same basic design with different materials. I generally avoid repeating myself. There are so many possibilities and it's too much fun to try something new. It's possible to recreate some of the sold pieces, but the woods might have to change. Also, I don't sketch out the designs too thoroughly (sometimes not at all), so there can be a lot of variation in dimensions, exact shapes, etc.
