Trinket box, "Only Connect" by Patricia Hagen

The first time I saw medieval reliquaries and book covers, I was blown away, imagining the joy and devotion the artists must have felt, like there could never be enough beauty to fully honor their holy objects. Flash forward many centuries to me--no precious metals, no rubies or sapphires, no saints' relics to house, just wooden boxes, imo clay, beads, and odd bits or jewelry--and a desire to capture the spirit of over-the-top abundance and joy. These are more whimsical, less precious, designed to hang on a wall or house mundane objects like jewelry or paper clips, but I hop that they will provide a reminder of the abundance and beauty around us--even now. This box is 5.25" square (lid); bottom of the box is 5" square. Lightweight wood box with lid of recycled jewelry, beads, and handmade tiles. In-person pickup available in Duluth; shipping is free.
