'DUNES AT YNYSLAS' BOX



The smaller boxes 'Wisteria' and 'Ynyslas'.


Box measures 9cm x 4.5cm x 7cm.




The back of the box.
Glass is on five sides.









The dunes at Ynyslas.


I brought some sand and tiny stones back from the beach and tried to replicate the view I saw.

Everything else in the box, including the grasses, are made out of pages of text.

The contents of this small glass box picture, with leather edging, was inspired by the sloping dunes on Ynyslas beach in Wales. The dunes, sand and sea there seem infinite.

'KING ARTHUR TRINKET' BOX Private Commission (2)


I fixed the prettiest shells I found on the beach into the different sections and then varnished them. They are protected enough to have cufflinks etc stored on top of them.


A close-up of 'Arthur'. Each part of his clothing was made of different pages, some parts more layered than other to portray texture, especially for his armour and hair.
