in the style of "memory vessels"

Hello,
I made a clay-covered tin that reminds me of the "memory vessels" in folk
art/tramp art. The memory vessels were usually bottles or jugs, sometimes
boxes, covered with various found objects like keys, buttons, etc. Some
were then covered with a unifying color, some weren't.
Thought I'd show you my tin
http://www.etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=26635 It's for sell in my shop
at Etsy. I'd appreciate any constructive critism regarding design, photo,
description, pricing, etc. This is not a commercial, per se. :-) I'm
still pretty new to selling (though I had a few things go on ebay) and just
wonder what others think.
Thanks!
God bless you with an artful life,
Alisa

very pretty, Alisa! boxes and containers are fun and collectable.

Alisa,

I think it's very nice, but the lace background really competes with the
detail of the box. Try some ivory or white velour instead.

Good luck!
