Just wondering, but at what stage did you start the project? IE: how did you customize it, or perhaps build it? And also, what are the letters CHA for?
This box is simply stunning, I love it to pieces. I'd love to see more of these tea boxes.

Well the flower and pattern part is a napkin, I just glue it to the box. Then I paint the rest of it according to the napkin colours
In this one, I also added a cracklΓ© product and patina to the exterior and then finish of with varnish.
ChΓ‘ is the portuguese word for Tea.
I'm so glad you like it
I will do another one soon

15 euros isn't even bad, considering the work that must go into it. I'd love to have one, though I'm currently sort of in the middle of a moving process... How much would it cost to ship one to Finland (in Europe) and how much to ship it to USA? Would I get to influence on what kind of a box I'd get? They are all so brilliantly done...

Of course, you can choose the kind of box you want and the size
There are all kinds of boxes - tea boxes with 4,6 or 8 divisions, jewelry boxes, watch boxes, boxes to put the nespresso capsules...
So first I'll need to know which one you want because the shipping is according to the height.
Thank you so much dear

Oh wow, there are SO many choises hehe... and now I want them all! Ah, but I must decide on something - for now. I'll talk to my husband about what kind of a box he'd like... All I got figured out is the colors... Hehe... I need to browse your gallery a bit more to see if there'd be an inspiration. I'll reply shortly!
Oh and one more question... What kind of a payment method will there be?

Of course, take your time and if you have more questions, feel free to ask me
The payment method would be Paypal

Alright, I talked with my husband and showed him some of your work and he got excited about it and decided to pay for the box Which is just as well as he's the Paypal-wizard of the family. He's currently getting some overtime in anyway
So, I think that I'd like the box be devided like your brown & white Tea Box in the gallery, in 8. It'd be a tea box as well. Our kitchen is black, red and off-white and we'd like the box to maybe have those colors as well. It'd be nice to have a kind of retro, vintage feel to it, if you know what I mean.
This place ([link] ) has quite a few vintage style posters that inspire me, maybe they'll inspire you too I want to let you have some artistic freedom with it, so basically, that'd be the color pallette that I had thought of the rest is up to you
Not sure what else I should mention... Hmmm...
