Today's freebie is a rock box. I make these from stoneware, iron oxide, and glass. They are usually small- this one is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches.
They can be used to store a tiny thing - like a pair of earrings, a
baby tooth, a charm, a four leaf clover- but mostly they are just fun to have. They look very much like a rock until you open them, then, inside is shiny glass with lots of sparkle hidden in the center.
They remind me of some people I know. People who are plain, run of the mill, hardly notice 'em types but who have hearts of gold, secret passions, great humor, and generosity of spirit.
This is your task today. To win this rock box, just think of someone you know or knew with hidden depths. Leave their initials as a comment to
this blog, and, if they are still living, think well of them, or maybe visit them, call, or drop a (handmade) card to them in the mail.I will pick a commenter at random and they win this little rock box.
If you don't have a blog associated with your username, leave me your etsy shop name, your twitter name or some way to let you know that you won so I can get your address.So, get to commenting! The contest is over at midnight Central time, so comments after that are not able to win the little box.
And for me, the person I knew with hidden depths, but an unassuming exterior, was my grandmother. Her initials were IMG. I miss her!
