Little Lidded Containers

One of the things I really enjoy making is small containers and bowls. Polymer is a great medium for these items. It's strong, waterproof, and pretty all rolled into one.

This little lidded cylindar has substantial walls, and is decorated inside and out with a silkscreen pattern. The wall is actually 2 layers of polymer with the seam off-set to add strength and stability. The ring attached to the underside of the lid fits snugly around the top of the base.

Here's another example. I used gold leaf paint around the rim of the base to add some color and shine.

This third photo shows how the containers look closed. They are about 4 inches tall, depending on the decoration on the lid. They have enough space inside to hold small item such as jewelry or paper clips, and they also look pretty just sitting on the windowsill.
