A new background template

Next month I will create a new background template with different boxes since it will be spring and we are getting off to a new year.  I hope that the different background will spark interest new interest in this blog.  Also the blog will continue to report and talk about the things at my gallery.  Send me questions or things of interest if you will.  I'd be happy to hear to hear from you.

The Template Boxes Explained

S

Some of you may have wondered what kind of boxes are featured in the template. I shall tell you.  In the background the first box on the left is a sculptural box of Tawaret, an Egyptian hippo goddess. It is a copy of an original.  The second is of a powerful dragon.  Its image protects whatever you keep inside the box. The next is a box with an image of Chinese or Japanese cranes and coasters inside. The last is a white porcelain heart box.

The next row contains a box from India, made from bangles found on the street. The center box can't be seen well but is a garden box probably used to house potted plants. At the end is a Balinese batik print box that you can just make out.

In the front on the left is a metal heart shaped box on tripod legs with pink roses adorning the top and sides. Next to it is an oval-shaped porcelain box that has a turf motif on its surface probably representing spring.  Last but not least is dragon box with an Irish knot motif.  I have these boxes and many more in my gallery and as this bog progress I will share more of them with you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


The Reluctant Dragon is back after a long hiatus! I'm looking forward to communicating with all of you. Come by and see my gallery at 60th and Arch when you get a chance.  I'll be showing off some of my more interesting boxes (actually they're all pretty interesting). So thanks for stopping by.
