Little Boxes

This week I’ve been working on a fourth accordion book, but I was unable to finish.  Alas, you must wait until next week to see the finished product.  I did, however, have time to complete a miniature artists book this week, and it’s titled Little Boxes.  This book is directly inspired by Malvina Reynolds’ classic folk song, also titled “Little Boxes.”  It’s a simple sounding song, but it hits you in the face with a pointed message.
