size closed: 4.5"w x 6.5"h
mechanism: 3"w x 4"h (closed)
opens to 3"w x 2"h x 2.25"dp approx with 4 windows
plus the door.
Mary one of our Art Of The Fold members showed us a video clip from Kit Davey with this finished structure... no details... After doing the 1st one I thought to make the mechanism a bit wider..
A circle at the top to keeps the mechanism closed.
Basic white card base (9"w x 6.5"h) folded in half, black cardstock then a layer of a background on w/c paper I created a long time ago...
Created the mechanism basic shape from black cardstock 6.75" x 3" scored at 1/2"+ 2 1/8"+ 2"+ 2 1/8" with a 1/2" end to glue to create the box.
Cut the front window in the main structure before gluing.
For these dimensions cut 3 more widows 3"w x 2.5"h. Note: the 3.5" h section is scored 1/2" on top an bottom to glue to the mechanism after windows are cut out.. Glue to basic box. Add images either before or after gluing, I did it after...
I glued one of the images over the whole back area instead of using a window.
Glue half a circle to the card to keep the mechanism closed.
