Book safe and incense box (image heavy)

The back of the safe:

The picture's a bit hard to make out. It reads, "Tons of earth and rock came pouring down".

Here it is, post-burning but pre-painting:


Now:

I've still got a lot of detail work to do on this, but for now I think I'm going to take another break from it and let her get some use out of it!
