My good wife and I are trying to work on a combined art entry for the
Adrian Empire, using the Westphalia box as inspiration. The Web site:
http://www.doctorbeer.com/joyce/emb/westbox/westbox.htm gives great info
for the embroidery, but little info on the box construction (my part of the
entry). Before I get too far along and have to restart the box, again, can
somebody please take a look at the Web site and see if the box has any sort
of hinge. I think it might have a hinge made of linen - the base linen that
covers everything - but can't determine it for certain. Of course, anyone
who might have seen this box and knows for sure if there is or isn't a
hinge is welcome to chime in. My wife has sent an e-mail off to the author
of the Web site, but has not heard anything back yet. Since I am in the
midst of gluing the box together, I need to figure out how to make the
hinge if it has one. Also, anyone that has any clearer pictures of the box,
especially of the hinge/non-hinge area!, please let me know. I'd love to
see some more detail on the construction of the box! :)
Thanks!
