Sorry I can not help you with the wood boxes...but for pattern lessons, I
like to look at various cultures --that is what inspired Laurel Burch
(sp?) --artist in California who has become so successful marketing her
jewelry. Try using some of her work as inspiration -- I love her "felines".

P.S. Would someone please post the correct spelling for "Laurel Burch" if I
have spelled her name wrong?
