I did this box to fit all the cards nicely as if the box came with them. Because of the size, there were some constraints and I could not fit the other filigree pieces to the sides.<br /><br />The base and 4 sides I used ice cream stick cut to the requisite sizes and the top piece or lid was from a Chinese fan. I fit the lid piece to the box with 2 small strips of paper like hinges. Because it is a "handmade" Indian box, they are not to look like they fit perfectly, ideal for me :). Most of it is in the paint job. Piece of cake for you, Ara.<br /><br />:):)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-83984808266063984712010-05-30T04:12:47.275+08:002010-05-30T04:12:47.275+08:00Susan, fantastic history, and course a perfect sta...Susan, fantastic history, and course a perfect staging.<br />Your stories always make me to outline a smile, you write very well, I love to read. and see your work, by the way always master.<br />A very strong hug<br />Carmen kisses.<br />Well as you may have seen I had a little busy, go to Madrid to the Carnival and end the blogs days & blogs, I had a little abandoned painting, I now have it return to.

Hehe. <br /><br />Like the anorexic Raj was a comment that Ira made about how the skellingtons at her Poe's house were reading woman's magazines too much, that's why they are so skinny. <br /><br />Ah ha! So raven and crows are indeed different, albeit slightly. That's what I kept insisting with my friends who then tried to pull a fast one by telling me that the scientific name for both raven and crows is actually "bogimus astronomous " or something crazy like that.

Having said that, I must stress that some of your standards are really high even at hobby level!<br /><br />You know what is the craziest part about making this box of cards? I nearly went mad making sure that all 4 suits are complete. The box kept falling off the table and I had to remake some of the cards a few times because I lost a few of them.<br /><br />First I sort out the cards in the same suit. Then I put them in a pile. Then I try to fit them in the box (that can be open) . At all these stages, some cards will go missing, I don't know why. So I keep repeating these processes. I think I did it at least 4 times!!! The cards are so small, once they hit the floor especially if it is carpet, you can kiss it goodbye. Much faster to make new ones than to try and look for them!:)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-11327635487732213182010-05-29T12:07:10.702+08:002010-05-29T12:07:10.702+08:00Flora, can I tell you I truly enjoy reading your c...Flora, can I tell you I truly enjoy reading your comments, wherever and in whoever's blog. :). Probably because you speak from your heart :). Rosanna and you share this trait :). Is Cagliari close to Genoa? Have heard Rosanna mention Sardinia many times.<br /><br />I hope the friends will meet Poe although I do not know how the relationships will turn out. There may be reincarnations involved too :). Maybe Mr Dead Drunk will reborn as Ms Drop Dead Gorgeous :):). All this will depend on Poe I think ;p. Perhaps he will write part 2 :). :):)<br /><br />The box of card is my favourite item in the whole story as well :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-50039335247671625802010-05-29T11:40:57.637+08:002010-05-29T11:40:57.637+08:00Rosanna, I was so sleepy yesterday I forgot to cre...Rosanna, I was so sleepy yesterday I forgot to credit you for the inspiration behind the idea that it was the women who headed this village..haha.
