My favorite part of this project is probably the exterior shell. The intricate design came out really well, and it reminds me a lot of my mom's old jewelry box. The lamp casts nice shadows on my dresser through the holes in the design, and fits in with my room well. The inner holder is also really nice and has the ceramic feel, but looks a little messy because I didn't do a great job painting it. It's also very white – which is what I wanted, but it looks a little incohesive with the more natural color of the exterior. It looks like the bobbleheads from the animated movie Princess Mononoke, which I really like!

I may end up using these two holders separately since I can see the exterior part being really multifunctional and acting as a pot holder, candle holder, etc.
