Well you can tell from the photo that this box is anything but perfect! I dont mean to sound negative, just realistic. Now I know the homework assignment was to create a PERFECT 8 inch cube, although it is not perfect I am actually somewhat pleased with myself. My original plan was to score and fold some matte board, yet I heard from others that that definitely was not getting accepted. So instead of just being lazy and going with that plan anyway, I decided to try out the whole foam board idea (which I thought was a little confusing at first). As you can see I wasn't 100% successful in my attempt to perfection. Nevertheless, I do feel quite pleased with the absence of glue stains (for the most part). Not perfect yet, but its a step in the right direction, a first of many to come!! :)

And last but not least, my final box! This one was made to resemble Ben's box the most. Also, this one is my favorite, I think it is pretty cool looking and still neat! But it was the biggest pain to do also!





In the middle of the middle mixes! This one is an equal combination of both Arntia's and Ben's boxes!




Here is my 1st out of 3 boxes, I made this one to resemble more of Arntia's box. I emphasized the box and only had the "x axis" as an accent!


Just figuring things out!! I promise this is not one of my final three boxes!! :)


This is Ben Adams egg container!


This is Arntia Smith's memory box!



So our new project is to combine two different projects from two different people on the iarcblog.folio. The two people that were above and below me on the list are Arntia Smith and Ben Adams. Of all their projects, I chose Arntia's memory box and Ben's egg container. Here are some drawings of the ideas I had in evolving their boxes into one!

Instead of making my box just a cube and taking stuff to it, on this iteration I transformed the top and bottom to different shapes. Although, I did keep the sides of the box square. But with the contrasting top and bottom I think it works and adds more contrast and excitement!:)

The memory that I chose to hold within my box, was that of first receiving my puppy. His name is Giacomo and he is the very first puppy I've ever had of my own. I remember when I first saw him in my dining room. I was SO excited and it was definitely a crazy moment! Because excitement and happiness were the most overwhelming feelings of the moment, that is what I tried to convey with my box!

So this is my original and final pencil box. I struggled with the glue and some aspects like measurements and angles. I wasn't planning on using this one as my final, however the final iteration I made was pretty questionable, so I ended up with this one!

Making a pencil box was a lot more difficult then I had expected. As I was making my pencil boxes I realized I have a big issue with leaving glue stains on my boxes! No matter how many times I would wash my hands they still showed up. So this is actually my final iteration, however it came out worse than the original so I didn't choose it for my final box!

So here is my final egg project. Instead of scrambling eggs every morning, I figured I would save myself (and my mother) some time and eggs by using yellow construction paper. I realized that scrambled eggs probably wasn't the most practical ideas but I just went with it and improvised at the end!
