Come, Nerevar, look upon this meme: a drawing of Dagoth Ur, staring manically from behind his golden mask. The text reads, ‘Dagoth Ur finds this GRAND and INTOXICATING’

Just completed this project, a small chest commissioned by a friend. I learned a lot, and I'm thrilled how it came out.

Work in progress—
Based on Sara Silver’s Unbeweaveable pattern. Making all the blocks first then cutting them down with the X-Block tool is a lot of work, but I’m loving the results. 🙂
