The trinket box treasure hunt has yielded another lovely little box [via Helen and Beadwork magazine ], this retro styled box, hand beaded, by Theresa A. Gozeski of Massachusetts, USA.
I’m quite taken with the turqoise and coral colour scheme, which is so reminiscent of the 1920s while the seed beads whisper of Victoriana…
It’s an original beadcharmed design (‘Terracina’) — a wooden box gloriously embellished with glass seed beads, a Style Stone oval, a wood rectangle, leaf findings, four vintage coral floral cabs, and two vintage glass floral cabs. Whew!
Named and dated by the artist, this trinket box is sturdy enough to be truly useful, and lovely enough to be passed down as a treasured heirloom to the beadwork lovers of a future generation.
