Bhakti boxes {part one}...

around the time i closed the curious ATELIER i was already dabbling in papier~mâché although it was limited to building up layers of old papers upon cardboard structures i had made from old discarded boxes. 

i called them *Bhakti Boxes & so began a love affair with making these little boxes of devotion.

​some were small & some tiered on a grander scale.

​at the beginning of 2021 i set about cataloguing a whole year of making them. each month i would make one Bhakti Box & within the pages of a book record the process, from inspiration, words, excerpts, materials & more, how they came into Being.

​here is just a sprinkling of some i made that year & others since. this may turn into a little series on my Bhakti Boxes so friday i will continue to share more about them & some of the grander ones.

i like the idea of recording them here & sharing them for the first time in all their wonky handmade devotional wonder.

{*Bhakti is Sanskrit for loving devotion}
