I love how you incorporated sandwich bag clips into your accordion folded page. Your work always looks so effortless and natural, so poetic. I can tell you find joy in the process. Creating these storyboxes has really helped me turn off the thinking and worrying about the outcome and just enjoy working with the materials. I'm a couple days late on posting my storybox, but it is up on my blog now.
