The tarot collection got its box, designed as requested. The birthday guy wanted a shelf in the lid, a slipcase really, for the Linweave deck because it was so large, and he did not want to have to remove all the little decks to get to it. I think this hybrid structure is best for smaller, lighter books or objects, so I made The Crow's Library to try it. (The crow collected popular culture from 2012.) After I showed the little box to my college class, it took on new life in one of my student's projects.

| Soapbox by Tazetta Yerkes, 2012 |

She carved words into little soaps
and made tiny tunnel books
with images concerning animal rights issues.
Each soapbox is labeled with a meal and the word "before":
breakfast, lunch or dinner.
So many metaphors here, and none need explaining.
