The Mystery Box.

Here is something that I made with paper. It starts up by being a little box with a skirt on the front. But then, as you start opening the box, a mysterious woman with a cat appears. She is holding a big hair comb. Why is the woman there? What is she going to do with the comb? Why is the cat smiling? …

I made this just for fun. Because sometimes I need to drop all the “serious” things that I am doing, so I can get lost in the silly side of my brain 🙂

Hi Elsita! This is so beautiful! I like the idea that more things appear when you open the box. I also wanted to share my 2 little boxes I made some time ago. As you can see those are little girls’ beds 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=639862896039281&set=pb.439336072758632.-2207520000.1381405076.&type=3&theater

Yes, Doda! I like the idea of mystery boxes as a story starter for my children 🙂 I will ask them to create some stories with the next one I make.
