My first explosion box

     So I have been sick these past few days, yuck!  Who wants to be sick on Valentine's day?!  Not me!  So since I was unable to do anything fun and creative for the holiday, I thought I'd share some pics of some projects I did recently.  I am still a bit of a newbie, honing my style and technique (not to mention still gathering a stash of standard supplies-though it's coming along), but I hope you like what you see!

     Here is my very first attempt at an explosion box.  I think it came out pretty though I always seem to want to do more and more to every project I finish to make it that much better.

Here it is all closed up, next time I'll do more decorations on the exterior.  I really wanted to and some sort of scalloped border to the lid but alas, it didn't happen this time.

     I wish I had used a softer orange (but I didn't have available to me at the time) for the accent color on the interior. But for a first try I think I did pretty well and I am getting better every day!  Let me know your thoughts and ideas!  Thanks! ~Morgan
