Ok, here you go!
The first set of pictures is a shadowbox with a plexiglass lid and a recessed picture in the lid.
The second box is a box with a drawer in the bottom and a lid that opens like a cigar box. A magnet keeps the lid closed tight.
We have two "core" students in our class: students who can stay on the Penland campus for two years and take any courses they're interested in. One of our core students, Andrew, is primarily interested in metals and blacksmithing. At one point we were discussing how to make and/or find good weights for holding our work while it dries. In his quiet way, Andrew says to us, "you know, there's an entire iron studio up the hill." Here's Andrew delivering a box full of goodies to the box studio: freshly cut weights for each of us!

Oh so gorgeous, these boxes. I'm always in awe at those neatly worked corners!
yes, those blacksmiths are pretty handy, LOL (I'm married to one and have lots of custom weights for my bookmaking / art projects!)

Beautiful boxes, RL. It looks like you're doing great work. I can't wait to see what Week #2 holds.
P.S. Good times catching up on your blog!
