Materials: Box (alluminum foil box, acrylic paint, plastic, cardboard roll and fabric leaves. Clay person (clay and toothpicks).
A repurposed aluminum foil box made of cardboard that opens to reveal a mostly green acrylic landscape. Inside the box is an empty cardboard roll with two plastic ends. Four green fabric leaves line one side of the box. A small swing, made out of wooden toothpicks, is attached with a string to the cardboard roll. The inside lid of the container is painted in blue acrylic paint.
So this is a fairly big box. It's long and narrow, so it stretches across my whole legs when I'm sitting down, but the width of it is, is very narrow. It's rectangular. When I lift the lid of the box, the material is rough on the inside of the lid, but smooth on the outside. Inside, there are leaves made out of very thin material. They do feel quite a bit like leaves, actually, like a, a leaf that you touch on a tree, very thin, nice shape. They are sitting beside a long tube that extends the whole length of the box. And from that tube, there is a swing in the middle of the tube.
