This was my submission to the MOSO contest over at Judges: Hit download to see it in full so you can check the contents of the box in detail

This was my third idea for the contest, since my two first attempts at making crafty things failed big time..

First I thought I'd make a linking book and i did complete it BUT the book in the end was to thin and being very old it smelled of so much mould that I thought that no one would want that in their home

My second attempt was to make big clay and papier mache letters spelling MYST complete with the wooden look and metal corners and D'ni writing.. but clay and paper don't mix...need less to say it didn't work out.

SO, my third attempt I thought I'd do something more detailed, something that any myst-fan would want to have (hopefully) since it's what a lot of players look for in MYST: puzzles! So I thought if i can come up with some D'ni inspired puzzles and games and put them in a mystified box that could turn out to something useful. And staying safe using only paper and papier maché and some minor sewing and clay work I knew I could do it without failing too much. So after 2 weeks work...I FINALLY got my entry ready

JUDGES INFO:
So to follow the rules about using something from a myst game I have included MYST symbols and writing in all the games and also the box itself is the MYST book as it appears in the first MYST episode.

The Box:
The box/book is a papier mache moulded shape which I have used patterned paper and painting on to make it look like the original book. Inside is hollow like a box even though it looks like a book that can be put away in ones book shelf

The contents:
1 reference sheet of D'ni letters and numbers.
1 game compendium explaining the rules for each game.
4 puzzles and games called "Two" ( twist on the famous Memory game, but for both 1 player and 2 players ), "Discovery" (jigsaw using only square pieces and double sided for 1 player ) , "Closed" (1 player puzzle to match 9 square symbols in all directions ) and "Six" (Dice game using two handmade dice for 2-4 players).

This box/book and all it's content is made with love! Hope you like it!

**UPDATE** I won with this, woooow So much love right now
