More decaying Soviet megastructures. Makes me feel very small.

Atleast they’ve cleaned this one up a bit. Up by the banks of the Caspian over in Derbent.

Medal box.

In honour of the newest addition to the collection (see: previous post), I made a display box for my medals so they’re protected!

The box itself is a jewellry box from Clas Ohlson that I ripped out the partitions from. Then, I bought an extra outdoor furniture pillow from the local textile store and took out the foam block. I cut it to size and covered it with some left over satin like red fabric I had! (It’s much darker irl).

I’m SO happy with it, it came out exactly how I wanted it to!! The medals are very secure in the foam and won’t budge even If I shake the box.

The newest addition to my collection! I’ve been wanting this one for so long, so I got it for myself as a treat after passing my first round of uni exams. So worth it!! Straight from Ukraine from Ebay.
