... and I've finished the latest Christmas exploding box.



The outside of the outer layer:



The same layer from the inside, first with the various decorative elements closed, then with the same ones open:





A closer look at the various decorative elements of this layer:

Flower card detail:


Gate card detail:


And the fully opened accordeon card aka squash card:


The inner layer from the outside and the same from the inside, without the shaker bauble (unfortunately, the sparkles on the snowflake in the middle didn't show up on the photo):



Three pictures, showing the finished inner layer from three different angles:



And finally the lid, first the top side with the wreath, and then the inner side with the little stars (again, for some reason the sparkles of the central snowflake don't show up):




I don't have a photo of the fully finished box yet, as I'm still waiting for the glue to dry completely. But in a couple of days there will be, I promise.

Thank you. I think it is one of my best pieces; I am fairly content with it.

Love it - but it definitely looks like a lot of work!

It was... but I made it one piece a time, over several weeks.

Thank you - considering that I actually don't like blue, it turned out all right, I think.

That is absolutely stunning and must have taken you hours and hours.

Weeks, actually, since I worked on it in the morning hours before leaving the house for work.

The medley of different blues and patterns is very pleasing to the eye. Lovely.

Thank you. :) I experimented with muted colours, trying to find a pleasing pattern. I'm glad to hear that I've succeedd.
