I wanted ferns for a box sculpture. I looked around and found these silk holly leaves. The fabric shading looked like it might work. I took out the plastic spine (it just peeled right off) and used a very sharp Xacto blade. Here are photos of that and where I used them. The box will be traveling to the World Fantasy Convention in October. I won't, but plan to be there next year.

| Sculpture boxes are bigger inside than out. |

| The box is titled "Books are Magic" |
This box measures about 9 inches tall. I'm a little concerned about shipping, but I installed layers of thin, dense foam around the inside panels and usually have good luck shipping glass.
And I made a Red Queen for Autumn

I love them all, but the "Books are Magic" is my favorite. All the right details to make it resonate.
Have a peaceful weekend!
Both photos are of the same box. I should've pointed that out. Even at art shows and in person, sometimes that's not evident at first glance. Likely I should try a video! Thanks, Melissa, and hope you have a great weekend too.
Can I come and live in the "books are magic" box? We need to move anyway, so...
Those are both gorgeous! Love the box! I wonder how many people are only going to look through one side, and not get to see the change?
