Details

Leaning on a log, a flirty elephant boasts colorful floral attire. Nantana Sompamitre crafts a whimsical pencil holder. She carves rain tree wood into the desired shape and coats it with lacquer. Once dried it is polished, and another coat is applied – up to twenty times – before as many six coats of pure lacquer are present. The final layer is polished with powdered fired clay. The piece is painted by hand, and brass rings protect the openings.

"Gorgeous blue box for earrings!"

I love my dark blue box that has very detailed artistic lines drawn all over it. I have placed my favorite earrings inside of it. I want to thank the artist who shared their talents to create this beautiful box.

"Almost great"

The eggshells were less uniformly placed than I had hoped. The blotchiness is off putting.
