Magick requires our intent and thorough attention to detail, yes? It becomes second nature in time but I enjoy revisiting it to remind myself how much it adds to the experience for the recipient and for myself as the maker. :) Thank you for your kind words and for all your inspiring work too!

You respect it and want to give it a nice place to nestle into while it takes the journey to its new owner. I am exactly the same. ;) One day I will own one of your pieces and have the delight at unwrapping it.

As a seller, I just like knowing that it has such a positive effect on folks who receive my work too. :) Nicolas Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126974984715446831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732555737950593061.post-25734885599971454582018-01-21T17:20:58.947-08:002018-01-21T17:20:58.947-08:00Nicolas you are amazing!

The lady who sent it to me packaged it so nicely and included some homemade greeting cards and envelopes. I always go back to her store to see what she has. I think it's a wonderful touch!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732555737950593061.post-47251127914642651692018-01-20T06:16:35.537-08:002018-01-20T06:16:35.537-08:00Andrea, for all the trial and error of learning t...Andrea, for all the trial and error of learning to make the boxes at first, I realized early on it was an easier road than trying to make things the perfect size every time to fit a box!! I have a knack, even when trying to replicate something I've made and sold previously, to make it just a bit larger the next time around! :) The boxes, it turns out, are a simple math equation that I can adjust to get the perfect size whereas the clay often seems to dictate to me how it wants to turn out!

I wondered how you found the perfect size box, and even thought maybe you kept the box size in mind while creating! Haha. I just never put it together you made the boxes yourself!Fallingladieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010949984698699058noreply@blogger.com
