Each week, a decorated matchbox with a tiny present hidden inside is left by a girl (and sometimes willing friends) somewhere in her travels. It's a random act of semi-artistic kindness aimed at disrupting someone's day in a tiny but positive way. That's if they dare to pick it up...  Deviating from my usual cut and paste job of matchbox decoration and getting my hands covered in glue and paint for last week’s show was a very good thing for this project. Because I’ve started dreaming up slightly more ridiculous 3D boxes of late and feeling fairly competent about making them. And so armed with a big ball of Fuzzy Wuzzy forest green wool (the actual brand of wool, not my own words), some scissors and glue, I made this latest box. My good buddy Michelle gave me this hand painted toadstool pendant last week. It came simply wrapped in a tissue and I was petrified I’d lose it or accidentally blow my nose on it. It reminded me of these lovely mushrooms I’d seen in Queensland late last year and so the grass box got born.  There was something very Gondry about making it, it was simple yet hilarious to make and I love that underneath it all, which no one will ever see, is a red glittery bottom. Thanks M!
