Box Ideas

I drew my 10 sketches. Some of them I think could potentially work out, some I think are would turn out really cool (if I could actually do it), and some I don't really like at all. My favorites are the TMNT head (my brother and I both love those turtles!), the interlocking puzzle pieces, and the slide-out box. The slide out is pretty simple, yet is a little unexpected. The puzzle pieces show how complicated my brother and I are, yet we are fairly close in age as well as in our relationship. The inside doesn't exactly follow the contour of the form, which makes it a little more interesting, and the walls are thick (going off of Margie's suggestion that my item is precious and so is protected). My only issue is that I don't know whether I should do the typical puzzle piece shapes, or piece together C and P for our first names. Either way, it's a little cheesy, but then again, so are me and my brother. The turtle head I would say is inspired by Michelangelo. My brother is funny and silly sometimes, yet loyal and sweet, just like this orange-wrapped ninja turtle. Personally, I think I'm also like Mikey, so it works out for both of us. The slide out box is simple yet unexpected, as I said before. It is, I think more interesting that just a box with an open/shut lid. It's a good place to put my treasure.
