These Doctor Who inspired boxes can be found on my Etsy!

I have all of my finished boxes listed now! All of these boxes have been wood burnt, antiqued and sealed. They all also have painted accents and feature the fan standardized circular gallifreyan.

The first box listed has the phrase “Time and Relative Dimension in Space”

The second one has 2 phrases on it “The Weeping Angels” is on top and “Don’t Blink” is on the front of the box. The last two boxes are a new type of box I have listed now: small ring-sized boxes. They measure about:  2 1/2" x  2 1/8"x 1 3/4" and I add flocking to the inside of the boxes. :D Both of these also have metal leaf accents.

The first ring box says “Time and Relative Dimension in Space”

The second box says “Hello Sweetie”

More posts are still coming coming in the next week or so to show all of the boxes I’ve listed! (You can see them now in my shop as well as a bunch of new keychains)

These awesome curse boxes can be found on my Etsy!

I have all of my finished boxes listed now! All of these boxes have been wood burnt, antiqued and sealed.(I have about 7 boxes nearly done and about 12 I’m getting ready to start)

This box is a really nice long box. I did a sort of stipling on the lid to add a nice sense of shading without paint or burning shadows. 

The second box is a curse kit. It’s a handled box and is lined with a really soft fabric. The rosary in the kit is made with glass and metal beads. Here’s a list of what’s included in the kit: Piece of chalk -Oval Mirror -Rosary -Resin Cross -Real Iron Nail (Made by a local blacksmith!) -2 Candles >> -Salt Pouch -Goofer Dust Pouch* -Medium Bottle of Dead Man's Blood** -Medium Bottle of Holy Water*** -Medium Bottle of Holy Oil **** -Matches Holder ++ >>

I ALSO offer curse kit upgrades for any box you order that will add some of these items!

Lots more posts coming in the next week or so to show all of the boxes I’ve listed! (You can see them now in my shop as well as a bunch of new keychains)

These awesome curse boxes can be found on my Etsy!

I have all of my finished boxes listed now! All of these boxes have been wood burnt, antiqued and sealed.(I have about 7 boxes nearly done and about 12 I’m getting ready to start) 

First is a simple rounded box lined with fabric.

 I also listed small double sided box with a handle. It has some neat metal paint on the sides that has a patina. A rectangle curse box antiqued and stained dark. 

A nice rounded top box with antique shading on it.

This rectangle has the metal paint with the patina applied so it forms a men of letters symbol. (Can be hard to see) It also has silver leafed accents.

Lastly I have a 2 drawer jewelry/curse box. I lined the drawers with a soft fabric as well. 

Lots more posts coming in the next week or so to show all of the boxes I’ve listed! (You can see them now in my shop as well as a bunch of new keychains)

-“Besties” (featuring PB and Marceline) -“BMO” -“Adventure Bros” (featuring Finn & Jake) -“Lady & LSP” (featuring Lady Rainicorn & LSP) -“Flame Buds” (featuring Flame Princess)

This lovely triforce box can be found on my Etsy!

I think I have a metal leafing addiction! Another box with the royal triforce crest design. The design has been wood burnt (and the area around it) and then was gold leafed. I added dark green painted accents and then antiqued the entire box.

I have a new series of box designs on my Etsy!

This series is all inspired by the wallpaper pattern from inside 221b on bbc's Sherlock.

All the boxes are wood burnt with a simplified design based on the wallpaper pattern. I antiqued all of the boxes. Two of them were also accented with metal leafing. The smiley box with 221B on it also features the yellow smiley face.

Last day to order to get your items before Christmas! I posted some more items on my Etsy!

There's a really nice Lonely Mountain Hobbit inspired box. This one has gold metal leafing accents and a leafed stripe around the entire box.

Next is a Teen Wolf inspired box. This one has silver metal leafing as well.

I also did a simple triforce box inspired by legend of zelda. (I went with green for link on the lid!) This one also has gold metal leafing on it.

Lastly are two supernatural inspired curse boxes.

Sorry the photos are less then ideal. Once I get some time later I'll retake any of these that are still listed.
