Worked on the Ships Box today and finished it. There was a lot of work still to do. This is what I had finished in the class I took a few years ago. The insides were covered in silk.

These are the silk covered straws that have cording wrapped around like a ships railing.

Here are the railings installed on the sides. They are tied in two places only. This way you can tuck a think tool behind the railing.

Here is the inside of the top of the box. It's tufted and has a pearl button in the center.

Here are the two end panels. The one on the right has a mariners wheel pincushion. The left is tied with a ribbon leaving a little space to slip in a pair of scissors.

Here is the completed box with all of the components fitted and glued inside.

And here is my Kitty assistant Magpie, taking a nap on the ironing board. Supervising is so tiring.
