Functionality is key in whatever I do, especially in the craft that I make and in my everyday life. So, making this flip box was important to me because I made it for a loved one living with Glaucoma. It is a health condition that causes loss of sight. To find out more on the condition click the Glaucoma link above.

My aim was to make a treasure box for storing things within reach, so that it's easily accessible. I also wanted to inscribe an initial on the box, using a raised cut-out letter for it's owner to recognise it easily if it's misplaced.

Thankfully, the box was well received and has proved useful for it's owner. Which goes to show that art can be a really useful tool when made with a purpose.
