So this box has a great story. I have a lady that goes on an annual retreat with a group of other ladies. She asked me to make this box and then to make a little "book" so that each of the group can write her thoughts and memories and at the end of the 2 weeks they can give the box and book (which fits inside the box) to the lady that organises the retreat.I love doing this type of work - knowing that someone will forever be able to keep a piece of my work and that it will give them lasting memories!
This was a commission that totally touched my heart. The client's parents had met on the ship where the man was working and the lady was travelling. They married soon after docking in Cape Town. He died many years later and she never remarried. The ship was commissioned by her daughter as a 50th birthday present for the brother - such happy memoried captured in pewter to make my heart warm.
