Good and Evil Custom Pandora’s Box
I just had to share this with you! You may have seen my Pandora’s boxes, which begin as everyday candy tins, and, layers of polymer clay later, end up as unique works of art. A customer requested that I make a “good and evil” box. Well, here’s what I came up with. Four more pix after the jump!
The bottom of the box represents evil and hell – flames and monstrous tentacles threatening the heaven above. I also created a silver “lock” to keep the crazy in. There’s a tiny key that didn’t make it into the photos, but it actually fits in the lock!
I really love making these boxes because my imagination can really run wild. It’s also amazing when customers give me a basic idea and let me run with it! The collaboration process is very organic.
The tentacle suckers glow in the dark!
This box is deeper than my other boxes. It’s great for storing jewelry, a gift, or other small knick knacks.

Hello… I make jewelry.
And I am a multifaceted beast! I currently sell my work under two pseudonyms. My Gearbunny line is where I express my punky, industrial, cute and morbid side. Here you’ll find polymer clay jewelry and accessories. I mainly focus on necklaces, charms, pendants, bracelets, and earrings, but I have been known to branch off into hair accessories and brooches. My inspiration comes from club and music culture and weird, quirky thoughts that pop into my head. I have been creating jewelry as Gearbunny since 2006.
My jewelry alterego is LapinJade (ooh la la, that’s jade rabbit, in French). Launched in April of 2008, it’s a newer endeavor. My LapinJade jewelry features sterling silver wire-wrapping and original silver pieces that I’ve forged myself using metalworking techniques. The versatility of silver is very inspiring. I also use various gemstones and precious materials. Overall this is a more elegant, classically beautiful line.
Gearbunny and LapinJade are both equally ME, so you’ll find updates for both on this site!
Currently I sell my work on Etsy, a fantastic virtual marketplace for all things handmade. Visit Gearbunny here, and LapinJade over here.
Wow the box is awesome! How do you made the flames!?
