This piece sat unglazed for a long time while I tried to decide what to do (lots of complicated ideas!)–and of course, stars. Hand built with very groggy clay; hand painted with raw stars peering through matte blue underglaze. When you open and close the box, it makes a sound like pebbles brushing together. Made slowly in Naarm to hold palm-sized treasures, or many little things (pearls, popcorn kernels, retired coins etc).
