when i was finished i notice my box looked a little plain so i fee handed some details on it to make it look more unique . the handle as a diamond was really last minute i though it would complete the whole "diamond for mama" theme. |

i came across a lot of problem while working on my box like the slabs not all being the same thickness or them not all being the same length. i decided to take care of these problems by shaving the slabs down to the same thickness then stacking them on top of each other and trimming them down till they were all the same size.
these problems are causing me to take more time on my box then i thought i needed but in the end it will come out better then it would have originally. i love diamonds so i imprinted a diamond on my squares. it was hard to actually get the diamond on the squares too look right it still doesn't look perfect .
i made a few mistakes with cutting the squares but i worked it out by trimming 2 squares all down to a 5x5 and decided to use them for the top and the bottom. my work is called "a diamond for mama" because my mom loves jewelry and this will be something she can put her jewelry in. |
