Little boxes made of ticky-tacky...
Looking through my boss's Tridias catalogue I see items which might inspire a few new book art projects:
The Carousel Fairy Book reminds me of a beautiful copy of Sleeping Beauty I had when I was little. I loved it, it was so intricately made - like looking into tiny theatre sets - and the illustrations were full of detail, and you could open it up fully and tie the covers together and hang it up. Sigh...
The Secrets Box has drawers, notepads, postcard, stickers and picture frames inside a lockable box - I think if I'd been given this when I was eight or nine I'd have exploded with excitement. Come to think of it, if they did plain 'decorate it yourself' versions, I could get pretty hot under the collar right now.
