173/365 Pandora's Box

In Greek mythology, Pandora's box is the large jar (πιθος pithos) carried by Pandora (Πανδώρα) that, when opened by her, unleashed many terrible things on mankind – ills, toils and sickness, – and hope.[1] Contrary to popular belief, in the original story, Pandora's "box" was not actually a box at all, but rather a jar. Hence, the historically correct term would be "Pandora's jar".

 

Hi Flickr friends! So I've decided to add another to my Greek Mythology set. I've been thinking about Pandora's Box for a while now and it hasn't left my head. So I ahd to get it out. I actually did another shot that is "Pandora" unlocking the box first. I was going to use both, but the hair didn't work out so I gave up. . . I should have tried harder, but the hair on this one took forever by it's self. It's all brushes. The box is actually my jewlery box. My grandma gave it to me about 4 years ago. I love it. And so I guess that's all I have to say for now. I may work on the other shot of Pandora later, but I need a brake for a minute.
