Steampunk Teapot

This is my first attempt at a steampunk teapot, and I am more than pleased with how it's turned out! 

After a little more research into steampunk design, I came up with this simple idea:


A bit of Rub 'n' Buff later and I am thrilled with the result:


A mini pressure guage on the lid replaces the flower on my usual teapot boxes...


and I cut the keyhole out of the front so that it is an actual hole. This would look great with a light inside it!

TARDIS Teapot Box

So excited about this one! As an avid Doctor Who fan, it was only a matter of time before I designed and created my own Doctor Who themed teapot gift box. And of course, what better to use as my inspiration than the TARDIS itself?!


I found the perfect colour cardstock, and using my PDF template, I decided to create a medium-sized teapot box. I made six individual side panels and printed the graphics to fit. I was definitely inspired by this image from a recent episode:



I am thrilled with the result!


Although the actual TARDIS is four-sided, the hexagonal form of this teapot fits in perfectly with the interior of the TARDIS and the central console ... I wonder if I could create a mini console to fit inside?
