This will be sorta a before and after shot of this particular item, which would most likely be used as a little jewlery box. I call them spring boxes b/c i make the texture on top with a spring - of which in this view you don't see. What you are seeing is the inside top of the box and i'm sanding around a spider that i placed inside. Thats why my thumb is all fuzzzzzzy b/c i'm moving.

This piece which is named My First Apartment is called this b/c in my first apartment, i had so many spiders. They really didn't ever freak me out at least they were all downstairs although they were not small i usually only had a spider visit about once every 2 weeks...

Anyway this about to be raku fired & you can see what the finished piece looks like tomarrow ;)
