Better DaysYou dream about the better world
and there it is, all bright and beautiful
and completely out of grasp,
like a firefly flickering in the night
somewhere out of reach, somewhere on the tip of
your fingers...lingering.

You seek for the better days, for a better life,
selling dreams for mist, trading hopes for sand,
pleading for someone who will understand...
wishing someone to reach with helping hand,
wishing for a change...hoping...

You feel like a drifter,
stranded on the unknown shore,
thinking you can stand no more...wings broken,
wounds still bleeding, face tear-soaked,
tripping through the dark, knowing there's no road

Ahoy, me mateys! Here be a poor scurvy pirate wit' his chest. Only a few doubloons be left spare from his wild days on Caribbean sea 'n a spider wit' its eggs inhabits th' rest 'o his chest, wavin' its webs. But, fear not...as thar's a treasure map, waitin', ready to take th' brave in hearts through th' maelstroms 'n waves 'n dangers untold, to th' treasures every scurvy pirate's heart would desire...

This is the miniature chest, made of real wood (pine). I chiseled the boards of out the big board, constructed the chest and painted with acrylics. All the metal parts, including doubloons, are gilded with gold leaf (18k) and the spider is polymer clay. The map is faux leather, drawn by hand. Size is 2 x 2 x 1.7 cm or 0.78 x 0.78 x 0.66 inch.

Of course, all is hand made, all from scratch. It took more than 25 h cause of that, but I think it was worth it ;) Anyway, it is on my Etsy and if you want to see the video of it, there's a YT link down, too.

This is so amazing! I love how you made the spider's web, and the map is fantastic! I love how beaten and dented the doubloons look, and the hinge of the chest is also really great!

You know, if my jaw keeps hitting the ground this often, it's going to end up breaking...

Amazing work (as always!).
