YUUKO BOX...
...is now packed and ready to be shipped.
I can't tell you what's in it, until the recipient gets it (and as she's in Canada, it might take a while to make it through Customs. :D)
I can, however, tell you what's not in it.
WHAT IS NOT IN THE YUUKO BOX
A map of the London Underground of the imagination - because while I got as far as working out how to draw the lines in Illustrator and did so, I got stymied at how to make the station stops (round dots) work as a pen in Illustrator, and stalled. But it's on my List of Things to Finish One Day because it's a Damn Cool Idea [TM] and the lines made me more comfortable working in Illustrator. (In Illustrator so I could keep it in a vector format, which means I could work on it small to save RAM and resize it bigger to print out later.)
A small foot milagro - Not in the box, because I couldn't think of anything to say about it.
A small antique-looking needle case - It called for a message to be written on thin paper, then rolled up and put into it, but I stalled on what the message should be.
A kanzashi - I learned I can't yet part with any of the ones I've made. :D
A box of small square magnets with old prints of bugs on them - Too damn cute! Keeping them for myself!
A sheet of puffy stickers of Japanese lanterns - A mix of being too damn cute and being unable to think of anything to say about them.
