A rectangular orange construction paper booklet containing illustrations in crayon, marker and mixed media, bound with orange string. The cover page has a light blue construction paper border. At the centre is an illustration of a person with black fuzzy material for hair. They are looking at an open box with a little figure inside and giving a thumbs up. The first page is blank. The second shows a person's head with their hand on their chin. There is an arrow pointing to another drawing of the person’s head. They are smiling and there is a light bulb above them. Beneath is an opened box with two figured people inside. The third page shows two stick figures. The first one is green and represents the string doll from Artefact 7. The other is purple and represents the string doll from Artefact 7.2. Between them are a green and purple swirl and a music note. The fourth page illustrates a person shrugging with musical notes and a question mark above their head. Beneath them are three boxes. Two boxes have different types of shoes inside and the third shows a pair of feet. A toe on each foot is marked by a purple circle. There is a question mark above all three boxes. The fifth page has a drawing of a booklet with yellow borders and a question mark inside. The sixth page shows a woman with straight hair and light blue cheeks. She smiles, doing a thumbs up while holding a pencil. There is a drawing of three sheets of paper with an arrow pointing to a yellow booklet, the drawing also shows an open box. The whole artefact is held together by an orange string connecting it to Artefact 9.1.
Tactile Description includes 9 and 9.1 So this is a container containing some books. The bottom left hand and right hand corner, there are sort of triangular shape pouches which feel a bit like wrapping paper that are holding these books. So when I remove them, the one on the top, the paper is quite thin. The cover is, there is a fuzzy wool feeling on the cover. And there's also a square shape indentation on the cover too. The cover is, extends longer than the rest of the pages of the book. The pages are square, sort of rectangular. The edges are all smooth, and there is a string which is attaching it to the second book. So the second book, on the front, it's, it's a bit busier on the front. It has a pom pom, and it has almost a cut out, a cut out that you can lift up, rectangular cut out. There's some material on it that feels smoother than the main paper. And then when you open it up, it is also a rectangular shape. The pages are, are smooth and the edges are smooth. So there's, there's several pages in the book. Paper is a thin and a little bit rough, but a nice texture. And the front cover sticks out longer than the rest of the pages of the book.
