My young friend Genoa, who attends UC Berkeley, is off to New Zealand to study for one semester. This great adventure will allow her to spread her wings; it will change her life, broaden her experiences, and give her memories she will have for the rest of her life. Last night we attended a recital and going away party in her honor. I decided to make a small box assemblage that travels well, as a gift for her. The box measures 3”x 7”x 1” and when open, it reveals a scene of collaged images of flowers and foliage. The birds and butterflies, perched on real tree limbs look down on a metal lizard and wooden gazelle, adding to the 3-D effect. On the outside, the box is again covered in magazine images, of green foliage and jungle critters who will keep a watchful eye on Genoa while she is away.
Be safe, sweet friend, have fun, and come home with many stories to tell.

This is wonderful Rebeca--the colors just pop off the page. I would love to see this for real.
ReplyDeleteAnd Oh New Zealand--what an adventure!
très belle boite.. je suis une inconditionnelle !
ReplyDeleteRebeca, this is magnificent. I bet Genoa will cherish it the entire time she is gone. I have a similar small box, and never knew what to do with it. Once I have a bit of free time, I'm going to dig it out and play with it. Thanks for inspiring me.
