Surprise Explosion Box

 Hello crafters!
Art must take reality by surprise!
Life is so full of unpredictable beauty and strange surprises.
Not knowing is the greatest life motivator. Its in those small little things when you look forward to what life has in store for you - like when a girl gets married, when she becomes a mother, when she goes to a new job, when one realises his/her passion and when life clicks into place.
Look within, explore your creativity and surprise yourself with what you can do. Craft has been that for me - a sweet surprise. I didn't know what I was capable of. I am yet to explore more of my craft being. With this inspiration I have made this surprise explosion box. Its not what an explosion box looks like usually. It is like a mystery where lies my creativity.
