Well, I've painted the outside of the hollow book/box, and it looks a bit more "booky" than it did. I do need to find a thin belt of some kind to hold it closed, since the little magnet inside doesn't do the job all that well, particularly if I'll be carrying art supplies around in it and such. I'm picturing a book strap like the kids used to carry books home from school back in the "olden days." I'll probably have to make one if I can't find one to repurpose. Ah well. It's a little sloppy, but I think if I have another go at it, I'll know more what I'm doing, and will be able to make a better one. At $1.99 a pop for the plain box, it's not so bad. I'm also considering trying covering it with leather on the outside--if I can find a leather thin enough, and an epoxy strong enough. That's for another day, though.

Hello,
I can't remember if I wrote you earlier, but I wanted to thank you for dropping me a line about my blog (countstars>>>bepatient)... I'd kind of forgotten about it, to be honest, and you reminded me. So I tried to log in and post some new stuff, but I don't remeber the password or correct email address or something...
Obviously, a lot has happened since then, and it's strangely comforting to look back and see that the substance of yourself, however briefly, meant something to someone. It's sort of like the "Have you seen me?" pictures on the back of milk cartoons - now THERE'S an existential question for ya!
In any case, thanks again. I enjoy reading your blog, as well, and hope to post some new stuff on mine in the future.
Looks beautiful! You should try selling on etsy!
