Man Wooden Jewelry Box
Q: My youngest sister's birthday is coming up
This year I've decided to make a musical jewelry box,
but I want to goth it up for her... she loves the gothy art
I draw, she loves the short stories I've written (goth in
nature...), and she has adopted wearing all black, at no
prompting of mine, and at no influence of mine... I hardly
ever wear all black around her... my old man's a
charismatic christian preacher... so I tend to dress in
earth tones when visiting the family. I've pretty much
landed on a design for the jewelry box, but want some
input on it, suggestions, criticizing, etc. The box is the
main focus of one of my short stories... her favorite one...
it's entitled, 'Heart of Petals'...
that's the basic idea, looking for comments and
suggestions...
A:Imagine an oak Victorian-style carved oval jewelry chest,
sable finish (homemade varnish)... flips open with hinges
hidden, deep burgundy crushed velvet interior, with black
thorns lining the edges of the lower half in a bramble
fashion... Thorns tightly wrapped around the upper
segment's interior, with a dark tinted oval mirror with
silver vine/leaf frame... Brilliant blood red rosebud in
center of the lower segment, with a small clearing of the
red velvet surrounding it, as if the brambles couldn't
survive too close to it... After a slight pause after opening
to full extension (90 degree angle formed between the
lower and upper segments) the rosebud slowly wilts down,
and a slow, sad melody begins to play. Once the top of
the bud is flush with the bottom of the chest, the 'stem'
lifts off the ground... it's a woman in a black corset piece
and red silky dressgown (the rosebud)... she looks sad,
wooden arms of a marionette rise above her head, her
sad face looks tormented as her dance starts... she's the
captive of the music box... the slow opening music from
bella morte's "the dawning" plays in loops as she dances,
a smooth, slowly swirling dance within the circle formed
by the brambles. The bottom of the box has a slide-out
chest drawer that holds small jewelry items and is lined
in a dark hunter green velvet.
I designed most of it for a book I was writing, but it
ended up being a scattered collection of short stories... I
added the marionette parts simply because 'Funeral March
of a Marionette' was playing on XMMS. Inspiration. I love it.
