The Classic- Underwater Flowers- Custom Order Only

The Classic. Hand carved and hand dyed, this jewel cut Petite Box was the first shape commissioned for Blue Tree. Lush carvings of flowers and leaves. This box requires an extra stage of overdying. Drilled and carved first to create the images, then a second time to drill the paint in place. Then overdyed. This shape and size was formerly called The Petite, but make no mistake, this is a substantial sized piece of work. There are three sizes that are smaller than The Petite. Joyce is now calling this box "The Classic".
