Few pics of the build. I initially tried this 5 years ago after watching a YouTube video. Did a full epoxy pour but had to scrap it turned out too opaque. Made it hollow this time, with one side pour a day. Gives the freedom to try out different types of bulbs.

Wanted to better the jewelry box I made last year, with more wavy tentacles. A cousin requested one recently. The random tentacles meant a lot more sanding, which took a major chunk of the time.

Recreation of a similar jewelry box concept I attempted last year. This time with more wavy tentacles accompanied by an excessive amount of sanding.

Last year I made a jewelry box with all the tentacles flowing down- https://np.reddit.com/r/Woodcarving/s/d8FFgHBR0K

I'd wanted to improve upon it with more wavy tentacles. A cousin recently requested one in a slightly larger size. The random flow of tentacles had me spend many hours in just sanding.

My sister requested this for her gifting purpose. Idea is based on images she found on the internet. Only hand tools used for all the cuts and carving. I don't have much in-progress pics for this.
