The Scissoria Sanctuary is a collection containment for scissors.  Being a seamstress, scissors are very important, and all different kinds are useful.  Little ones, big ones, scissors for paper and scissors for silk.... soon I had collected lots of scissors.  The Sanctuary holds 99 of them!

It is modeled after a Greek Orthodox church.  I wanted it to give a feeling of retreat and repose, a place you would come upon in a clearing in the forest, miles from anywhere.  I had seen a photograph of just such a place in eastern Russia, and adapted the container's form from it.  I was so pleased at how the sparkly domes just wanted to hold more scissors, for the spires!

The box is about 12" wide, 12" deep and 15" tall.
