boxes R done!!!!!

18 years ago

Well here are my 6 boxes that I made for the gals at work. They turned out ok. The rock box is not going to be given as I just think it looks sloppy. I will make another one tomorrow to give to the gal I originally made it for.

These did not photograph well.

    Way to go! I so want to be able to make a bunch of little gifts! I gotta get into hyper/Slow drive now!!!

    It is hard to pick a favorite...how thoughtful of you to make your corworkers a gift..I'm sure they are going to love them...........great job!

    Thanks. They really didnt photograph well. The colors are so much nicer in person. The favorite I have is the Purple van gogh one with purple grout. You cant tell that by the photo, the pink one is really cute too but again you cant tell by the photo. Im kinda bummed especially with the rock one cause it looked really good until I painted the grout. Oh well it will go in my ugly pile. I'll just keep it for myself. Dang if I dont sound like Eore (dont know if spelling is right or not!)) from winnie the pooh!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Very cool gifts Chick! I like the Van Gogh the best, I think! They're all great. Yep, I even like the rock box!

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, I like the rock one best! Love the colors and textures. I would be pleased to get it for a gift, I think your co-worker would too.

  • 18 years ago

    wow, that looks like a lot of work. you did a beautiful job of them!

  • 18 years ago

    wow, you've been busy! My favorite is that purple on too. Whats on the top of the one that looks like an old rotary dial from a phone?

    WAIT, HOLD THE BOX. While I like the gold one very much, my favorite is the rock box. Don't you DARE hold back on giving that one. TRULY, it's very nice. Like the others too, but the rock box rocks.

    I have to agree......The Rock box does Rock!!!

    Very nice! I am kind of partial to the blue one, but then I like all the others too.

    I think the rock one is my favorite, but I see what you mean about the grout....it's hard to pick up in the photo, but I can just faintly make out the "messy" grout lines. Any chance on adding more paint to fix it? Maybe rub something on the rocks to prevent the paint from sticking and then re-painting the grout. Probably would be too time consuming right now, but might work if you have some time to deal with it later.

    That last one is really great too...and the third one and the fifth one...LOL I love them all.

    I was taking a break from starting the next box...I am just going to keep the rock box for myself. Thank you all for cheering me up so nicely!!!!

    Nice- the thing on the box with the mirrors (yes it does look like a rotary phone dial doesnt it??) is a small silver lizard with a blue body inset. I just thought it looked cool on the box cause there really is blue mixed in with that gray glass. I think if you click on the picture you can make it bigger.

    adina- thank you for the suggestion. I dont think I could get it fixed with the rocks spaced the way they are.

    What nice gifts!!! They all look great and I too like the rock box! Love those glass tiles - now if you want to keep it for yourself because you love the glass then that's fine but it looks good enough to give away.

    The blingey gold one has caught my eye!

  • 18 years ago

    Theres nothing wrong with the rock box.
    I love the herringbone kinda pattern youve got going on there. very nice!

  • 18 years ago

    lol........too funny
    the rock box is the one I like the best, too..
    so, that shows to go ya
    you might go ahead and give it to the one it was intended for
    and watch them fight over it...lol

  • 18 years ago

    Funny how I just dont like the rock box and you all are saying how you like it!!! I am gonna keep it I made a cute red one to replace it. No picks yet but I will put it in our photobucket site tomorrow. Thank you all for lifting my spirits...you guys are the best!

  • 18 years ago

    I love how all your boxes came out Chickee. How big are they? Great idea and I'm sure your co-workers will love them!

    Hey, if you put the pics in the PB album and not here, how about those of us who aren't going to use that album??? Hope that album doesn't take the place of pictures here.

    Slow good point I will post them on another thread cuz I started something else too.

    Crafty Lady- they are abou 4x5 boxes. You could probably get a bar of soap inside of the box. There pretty small.
