Engagement Box

It was a secret. It was a puzzle. It needed a secret compartment. Fantastic project.

For the book I made a series of envelopes which would be filled with haiku, sewed them using the coptic stitch and inserted the back cover into a pocket connected to the "bottom" of the box. At this section there is a ribbon which lies begging to be pulled. Behold! An engagement ring.

Note: Ring shown not actual engagement ring.

Flashback to North Bennet Street School

Whoosh (a time-travel noise) back to last May.

Yeah. The biggest box I've ever made was a french-tray. Odd indeed. I believe the dimensions are close to 21 x 17 inches. I included my foot in the photo to show the vastness of this container.
