Think of the deep blue sea each time you open the lid of this gorgeous and functional box. The golden sea turtle is hand drawn with 22k gold and fired into the iridescent cobalt blue art glass tile so it won't scratch off.

Trying to capture the sparkle of iridescence and the shimmery gold simultaneously is near impossible, so be sure to view all the photos.

The finished art glass tile is securely bonded into the lid of a commercial Alderwood box. A beautiful decorative home accent piece, it's also very functional as a container for your keys, change, trinkets and treasures.

The simple uncluttered beauty of organic lines stand alone. I draw each tile individually for my boxes and although they may have the same look, no two are exactly alike.

Measures 5.25" x 5.25" x 2" tall. Alderwood commercial box with original glass tile inlay. 22k gold hand drawn and fired in for permanence.

I study nature, photographing and sketching what I see. My images are then transformed into simplified 22k gold line drawings on glass.

Because I love sparkle, I use mostly iridescent glass, but I can draw on any glass you prefer. If you'd like this image in a different color; or a different image on this color I'd be happy to make it for you. Simply send me a note here or via my email: linda at steiderstudios dot com.

Whether you're purchasing for yourself or as a gift, you'll love this shimmery glittery box.

The gold I use is suspended in a liquid binder and available to purchase in my 'tools and mica' section. It's fired into the glass for permanence and will not scratch off.
