Jewelry Box - Traditional Fine Art Photograph by Kajsa Blix - Original, "Symmetry - Venice Beach, CA"

This 7.5" x 7.5" jewelry box has been hand crafted for you from raw materials.

It was finger painted by the artist with three coats of a special water based metallic paint, a clear top coat was applied for ensure durability while still allowing the natural wood grain to show. This image of the Venice Beach horizon was exposed with film in a specific manner to create this magical image. A photographic print was made, inserted and sealed into the box with a touch of glitter for a sweet touch of sparkle. Foam was then inserted into the inside of the box to cushion the real leather lining that was then hand cut and added. An elegant latch was then added to finish this fine creation.

On happiness...




Life is literally what you make of it. People need to make the choice to be happy. With or without the cards they were given. It's an outlook, not something you can touch with your fingers. It's finding one small thing after another that makes you appreciate waking up every morning. It's not taking the fact that the sun will rise the next day for granted or overlooking the beauty around you. It's figuring out how to be passionate about living!

'Tis the day... Rejoice and be glad.




(The image above is of a lady in Jalisco, Mexico doing laundary.  
She and her two beautiful daughters didn't have running water, 
floors, windows or a front door. Her transportation = donkey. 
She was the happiest and kindest lady. You could tell she 
appreciated her life and the people in it. )
