The M.C. Esher lizard pattern projects Pt. 2

 

Last month I posted photos of a couple of boxes I made with the Escher lizards patterns; one facing outward, one facing inward (three inch lizards on these). These first two boxes have the lizards inlaid into the box tops.

I wanted to give these as gifts to my sisters, so I made two more boxes (I have four sisters). I wanted each box to be different, so I made these two with the lizards as appliques sitting proud on top of the box. I found this basket weave molding I thought would  make interesting sides to the boxes. That meant I'd have to make the boxes squares instead of round. The lids for all the boxes are lift-off tops (no hinges).
