Hummingbird Hand Painted Small Box
The top of this lovely little box (just 4" on each side) has been hand painted with a vivid violetear hummingbird, caught mid flight as it zips in for a sip of nectar! Beautifully rendered in jewel-bright tones of turquoise, green, violet and blue, this box makes an eye-catching, unusual accent piece for any age. Flowing around the sides of the box in hand-lettered script is a line from a poem by John Banister Tabb called, fittingly, The Hummingbird: "A flash of harmless lightning…" An apt description if ever there was one! This box is the first of a series of three. Desk, sewing room, living room, this box will grace any surface. Make it practical by filling it with small items like safety pins or cotton balls, or just set it out to admire. And because I create each one by hand, no two will be exactly alike, ensuring you a one-of-a-kind piece of usable art! The box is beautifully handmade by Designcraft Industries out of solid poplar, and each one is hand-painted with original artwork by Lara Eve Designs, using all non toxic acrylic paints and sealers. Designs and colors can be customized to suit your needs, just ask! Each piece is signed and numbered for authenticity.

For Keepsake Box, Memory Box, Treasure Box5.0If you want a very special gift for a child or grandchild this is the place and the person who can do that for you. She is talented, good natured, imaginative, and devoted to doing a wonderful job on your project. I cannot speak highly enough about Lara and her work. I have ordered three treasure chests so far and hope the grandchildren just keep coming so I can order more. Another idea would be to make one for yourself to store all the wonderful souvenirs, tickets, menus etc. from a special trip. I know she will make the best souvenir you can buy with pictures of the holiday location so inside is all the stuff collected there and outside fabulous original pictures of that place. I think I will do that for myself.

For Keepsake Box, Memory Box, Treasure Box5.0Lara was terrific to work with. In record time she created two large treasure chests for my granddaughters which they have already fallen in love with. They are two and four and wanted a place for their treasures. The decoration was chosen by my daughter-in-law and Lara did a bang up job putting all the ideas into the design. I have already ordered a third box for another granddaughter who is three. This is such a lovely idea. It is something they will keep forever with their childhood treasures.
