Simple Box Complex lid


Continuing my experimentation with paper as a structural element, I made this simple walnut box with a fairly complex paper lid. Using snap fasteners in place of screws or glue, it took several tries - and lots of swear words - to get the cuts, folds and fasteners lined up correctly. It was worth it for such a perfect fit. It nestles in perfectly to create a contrast of color and composition.

Up next... a big announcement, and several new projects. First, apparently I'm getting hitched this weekend. Wish us luck!
