Hi Everyone,

Dear boggled bogglers,


LOL I will give you a couple of hints to get you started....

Can it hold something? Does it move? ie mechanical?

A greeting card is functional.

A trinket box, a vase, a fabric shoe bag decorated with art and or embroidery etc etc etc...

Even a wooden pencil decorated is functional art!

Okay now go and make something!!!!!

I am surprised that this received only one entry ( a very attractive pendant), I would have made some mechanically intricate cards but for lack of time due to holidays. At a German Market in Birmingham, UK, last year I bought a book on paper engineering and some wonderful cards with bits to pull and push and turn and unfold. I haven't yet gotten around to doing anything other than making up the examples but this has made me determined to make something with it.

Here are a couple of examples that I bought

This shows a card with the image of a pirate and the back shows how it fits together. When you pull the skull, he raises his arm to look thru the telescope.

In this card when you push/pull the tag, the musicians arms move and the dog wags its tail

will definitely try out something for myself - promise
