Cloud Containers!

My cloud containers are intended to sit on a dresser/side table, and serve to hold small items such as coins, keys, jewellery, or other miscellaneous items.  The containers serve not only to encapsulate the contents within but also to generate organization within the room.  A clean, organized room helps create an inviting environment.  In this way, I wish to offer people not only physical organization, but also emotional organization.  The aesthetic of my cloud containers are designed to bring a relaxed ambiance and imbue a feeling of calm within the room; conducive to a state of peace and restfulness.
