Now that the mornings have cooled off enough to allow me to work in my workshop (garage) I was able to finish off a couple of boxes. Used Spectrum Burgundy Baroque on this one: This colorful one is for my teenage granddaughter: |

very nice Alan...
I love baroque glass and I really like the design of the heart box (however, the colors wouldn't be my choice but I'm a little past the teenager days)

Me too - I actually shuddered when she picked out those colors. |

Love them both! And I really like the way the reflections bounce back from the mirrored bottoms through the bevels when the lids are closed!!

very nice Alan. I like them both equally.
Alan, how did you attach the zinc to the box part of the boxes? Did you cut and bend it so it was fit? I can't tell looking at the pictures.

Thanks everyone - seems that the only things people are asking for are the boxes and the flutterbys |

Nice, Alan... I like all of them. The flutterbys are pretty too. I can see why someone would want them.

Wow, those boxes are beautiful and I love your use of zinc for the box top edges and edges of the box itself, what a nice professional looking finish!
I've always loved this butterfly pattern, very cool, I can see why people would be requesting you to make more of these. Lovely Alan!!

I had those same butterflies cut out and when I wasn't looking, hubby took all of them and put them in cement around some planters!! I wasn't very happy with him!! He also messed with my sun/moon panel and got all the sun pieces out of order!!

 Bad Hubby! I like the boxes and butterflies too. Your grandaughters needed a little 'Harvest Gold' to be a perfect 70's retro piece.
