Medieval Crown Jewelry Box - challenge entry

I made this small Medieval Crown Jewelry Box last week for the October edition of the Polymer Clay Artists Guild of Etsy's monthly challenge, the theme being "Medieval".

The jewelry box opens to hold a small piece of jewelry, some coins, or any small items that are special to you.

I had a tough time with this challenge initially, my plan was vague, "a castle", but when it came time to put it into action, I had nuthin'! So I began searching the web, and in the process I learned so much about medieval art and medieval times. I know I took that class in high school, why wasn't it as interesting then?

Finally, I came upon a video tutorial by Tejae Floyde for these small crown boxes, and I decided to see if it would have merit for the challenge. I was so pleased to be able to create this box by using her ideas! It was really fun and I'll be doing more and yes, they will be listed in my Etsy shop soon.
