So here is my second keepsake box creation. It's quite a bit larger than my Toy Story box but that was deliberate because I wanted my next project to be BIG !
This box is for sale via ETSY

What's This, What's This ???
I can't remember the first time I saw The Nightmare Before Christmas but I do remember being completely enthralled by it from the very first few minutes.
I have always been a fan of Tim Burton anyway and I am probably one of the few people that think his version of Planet of the Apes is actually quite good ! But I digress.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favourite films and I find myself going back to it time and time again to watch. It is magnificent in High Definition and I wanted to create a keepsake box that would do the film justice.
So here is my second keepsake box creation. It's quite a bit larger than my Toy Story box but that was deliberate because I wanted my next project to be BIG !
I had a lot of fun creating the gravestones and of course I couldn't forget one for Zero so his kennel is featured on one of the sides. I decided to keep the town background the same for all four sides but thought a varied range of gravestones would look really good.
Finishing the sides off are the essential bats that any self respecting Halloween Town would want and the lid is decorated with four rather lovely looking pumpkins.
This was a real labour of love for me and I am now busy working on another Pixar themed box so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Welcome to Chasing Whimsies
Hi, thanks for stopping by.
I'm Andi Child from Chasing Whimsies.
I have been making one of a kind pendants, keepsake boxes and various other Steampunk inspired items for quite a while now but I recently (at the suggestion of one of my best friends) decided to sell my creations on the internet. You can find all of my items for sale at Etsy.com.
I am still testing the water so to speak and at the moment I have only listed a small number of items to see what people are in to, but hopefully if you are reading this you might find something you like !
I suppose my first exposure to Steampunk was back in 2003 when I went to see "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen". I was transfixed at the remarkable inventions, fashions and creativity in front of my eyes and I knew I wanted to be part of it.
I spent many months researching everything I could about the Steampunk genre but, as with many things, life got in the way of what I really wanted to do. I am now in a position to pursue my creativity and, after making items for my friends and family, I feel I am now ready to offer my creations and projects to the general public.
So why "Chasing Whimsies" ? Well I have spent many years doing just that.....chasing one whimsy after another so I thought I would name my business after what I do best.....chasing whimsies.
My interests range from animals to music, theatre, shopping and my ultimate favourite......films. I find myself completely transported when watching a good movie and you will find some of my work is very inspired by films I see.
The purpose of this blog is to show you any upcoming projects I have on the go, finished items and general opinions I may have on anything that takes my fancy !
Until the end of April I am offering Free Shipping on all items, no matter how many you buy
Here are some of the items I currently have on Etsy :
Well, I hope you have enjoyed your 'taster' of Chasing Whimsies. Please stop by again and, if you feel inclined, treat yourself to one of my creations ;)
