Bookarts: Box for the Rat Book

[mollybrooks]

i spent this past saturday making a little house for my ridiculous pop up book about rats. it was pretty fun bc, as usual, i didn't start with a very clear idea of what i was going to make and how. i eventually ended up with a basic 5-sided box with an L-shaped drawer that pulls out. the drawer is made from three interlocking pieces of board, which will hopefully help it maintain integrity under stress better than if it was being held together with glue.

in keeping with the tasteful, understated color palette of the book itself, the box is BRIGHT ORANGE.
