what method did you end up using? did you glue a thinner smaller heart underneath to hold the lid in place?

Hi Chuck

Here's the prototype

But I was afraid it looke to much like a
Mr. Bill Face ;D

So I'm backed off that idea
and came up with this

I haven't permanently set anything
so it may go through another revision

but it works well and has the angel wing heart idea
that I use in my rock'n 'art crafting

maybe I could get your guy's opinion
is the above to faceish looking?

Thanks

Ed

Nice job Ed. I wondered what happened with this.

You see Mr Bill in the face, I see an alien.

No matter how you mount the angel wings no one should really see it. If they do they will get a surprise if you keep it as a face. A bit of whimsy.

Take care
Bill

Ed, I just now saw this thread. Very nice lid project!! . . . I have a box like yours, I inherited from my parents who received it as a gift from a student from India. And, it says India on a sticker on the bottom as well. Probably about 25 years old.

I think it is shell, maybe carnelian and something jade-like. . . not high end, inlays are grouted. Cute box though, If I remember, it is for scented herbs. The lid is one piece, like if one had a router for stone, but there are rough file marks, so maybe was done by hand.

Wow, Ed, I remember when you started this thread! You've got a beautiful, heart felt lid there and the color really should bring out the highlights in the box! Great job, even if you do go with the "Mr. Bill" face. LOL! Looks like you had a rockin good day there!!!
