Another discarded element?

I keep making progress on the new box, which is a good feeling. I am very pleased with the chartreuse color of this fabric. I had only a very small piece of that. I dyed more and I think I nailed it!

Now on to the other element. Each little piece was cool but put together it looks like a "piggy round table", doesn't it? At this point, I am not sure it will stay. It would loose its piggy-ness once it is incorporated into the box but I don't know if I like the proportion of this and the other things together. I have to wait until I have all the pieces and see how they look. Since putting them together is the last thing I do, it will be easy to discard it or not or may be replace it with something else. Who knows???

more trial and error

This was supposed to be part of the top of the new box. I like it but when I put it on the bottom piece, it really does not look the way I want.

So back to square one on that part. Now I am trying to figure out how I can make the top in the way the satisfies me.

In the meantime, I am sure that what I did already can be used in something else and all of that also means that I am spending time in the studio!
