Though my found object art boxes are well made and finished with protective layers, colors can fade if art is kept on display in direct sunlight.

Be careful not to drop boxes as delicate contents like antique glass bottles could shatter or delicate wings of butterflies or dragonflies could tear.

You may want to keep your art out of kiddy hand and kitty paw range :) Bookshelves are great for safekeeping. I've found the epoxy art resin I now use is pretty indestructible but I would still err on the side of caution when displaying your box to preserve it's life span.

Usually! Isn't nature the coolest? I do occasionally use paper butterflies but if the description say REAL Butterfly, it's real. :)

Absolutely! Contact me using the contact seller form above. I promise I don't bite.

By day I'm a freelance journalist for arts magazines. And I write a blog for creatives who care about soul. (Come visit, www.thecharmedstudio.com) But by night --- I make art. A decade or so ago I went back to school to study mythology/depth psychology and began making art boxes containing found objects to help me sort out my ideas for my doctoral thesis. My thesis was about the BIG psychological importance certain LITTLE objects/mementos had to great artists and thinkers. People like Frida Kahlo.
I loved making the boxes and people were interested in buying them. So after I got my degree I opened this Etsy shop to continue my journey into the land of things with the support and companionship of fascinating folks like you.

Yes! I love giving 10% of each sale to animal charities like Downtown Dog Rescue, PETA, and NorthValley Wildlife Fire Rescue. :)
