Pixar Movie Poster Trinket Box

This is a wooden keepsake / trinket box and is decorated on all sides (including the bottom) with miniature original movie posters from all of Pixar's feature length films to date.

All of the posters were cut out by hand and attached to the box individually. This has created a wonderful textured and layered effect. It had been varnished multiple times to ensure a quality, hard wearing finish.

The front features the iconic ball from the short film "Luxo Jnr" made from polymer resin.

Posters from the following Pixar movies include:

Toy Story
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 2
Monsters Inc
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Cars
Ratatouille
Wall-E
Up
Toy Story 3
Cars 2
Brave
Monsters University

Marauders Map Box

This is a one of kind wooden keepsake box. It is themed after the third Harry Potter film "The Prisoner of Azkaban"

The box features some of the elements from the film and has been a real labour of love for me.

The box is covered with the infamous Marauders Map that Harry is given in the third film. The map features individually placed footsteps that are raised up to give a 3D textured effect.

Also on the box are two hand sculpted from clay "Pawprints" - a sign that Sirius Black's has been here !

There are also tell-tale signs of Lupin's existence as the box features very evident claw marks from his "Werewolf" change !!

The front of the box features a gold Hogwarts Crest wax seal moulded from clay.

My whole idea for this box was to imagine it came from the Shrieking Shack. I purposely aged the box using various techniques and tried to 'stretch' the wood as much as possible. By doing this the box may appear to not 'fit' so to speak. This is intentional. The lid closes and is fixed in place by some beautiful gold coloured hinges but as you can see from the pictures the lid may seem to be a bit larger......or smaller.......depending on your view......but this was my concept.....I wanted it to have a 'damaged' and 'stressed' look. I hope you will agree I have done the job.

Some More Harry Potter......Well....You Can't Have Too Much.....Can You ?

My obsession with creating Harry Potter keepsake boxes shows no sign of wearing off.....so I present you 

my latest piece...

 

It is stained and varnished to give it a wonderful aged antique look and feel.
The top of the box has many items associated with Harry, all of which were made by myself.

These include:

A miniature replica of Harry's Wand complete with stand, A wax seal from Hogwarts, A miniature replica of the Sorcerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone in the UK), A miniature replica of Albus Dumbledore's biography written by Rita Skeeter, and two 'potion' bottles from Dumbledore's secret collection...one containing Troll Finger Bones and the other containing Mermaid Scales, both with labels created by myself.

The bottles, wand, stone, book and seal are not attached to the box - this is to reduce shipping costs. They will be packed inside the box and full instructions will be included on how to attach (it's really easy by the way !!)

It is decorated on the top and sides with various Harry Potter labels and knick knacks including Harry's Hogwarts Invitation Letter and Envelope, Hogwarts Express Ticket, Pumpkin Juice Label, Honeydukes Label, Platform 9 3/4 Sign, a Ministry of Magic Logo and a Daily Prophet Logo.
