New new new!

Hello lovely people, and welcome to Gnomey and Boo!
Although this post is to show you all the fabulous high box, I'm going to introduce us first. I'm Boo, and my lovely partner in crime is Gnomey. Our craft is fuelled by wine, gossip and the occasional episode of family guy. Enough introducing, lets get on with the crafting!

 
This little lovely is my high box. It is longer and thinner than most smoke boxes, and has a divider down the middle that stops about halfway down to create a shelf of sorts. In effect, you can keep about 5 joints on one side and 5 bullets on the other, and still have them at the same height on the top. The divider and "shelf" are affixed securely so they will not buckle.



These were the initial plans, basically I took apart a smokebox and altered the measurements to make it longer and thinner while still retaining its practical shape.
This was my second page of blueprints. It was done after a bit of "market research". I think you can probably tell.

These are the bones of the box. The green piece is what makes the divider and shelf, it basically doubles around and provides structure for itself.
By the by, I had to make the green part twice. Again, it was all down to my market research, I made the first one too narrow and short. I like the way they look like boy-parts though!
Yellow tissue for the background.

Rejoice, ye mortals, in my skills with a swiss army knife. This thing took ages!!
The artistic finishing touches. I tried to make it quite feminine, despite the obvious symbolism.
And there you have it folks! You can find this and other delights at our Etsy shop. It is fully customisable, we are very friendly with that. And it doesn't have to be a high box, I will make regular smoke boxes and boxes for bullets too.
Love,
Boo.
