Mystery Box: 5 Things I'd love to unbox

-

I’m a huge fan of the unboxing craze that’s all over the Internet right now. I love watching unboxing videos where the person's excitement radiates through the camera as you watch them open the package and take out all the paper and packaging materials to reveal the thing inside.

I suppose this is why theme box subscriptions like Loot Crate are so popular right now. We all enjoy that awesome moment of receiving a package in the mail and opening it. It’s like Christmas all over again.

These trends quickly evolved to the next craze: mystery boxes. Go on YouTube and search  ‘Mystery Box,’ and you’ll find a bunch of videos. People are buying up $1, $50, and $100 mystery boxes and posting videos of themselves opening them. Some of them are gems, while others...not so much. Oh, and a few are hoaxes, so keep your eye out for pranksters. 

Since I’m not the gambling type (though I do understand how fun the element of surprise is!), I decided to create my own version of this!



My Mystery Box
Five things in my dream box

1. Something from the set of Amazon’s the Man in the High Castle (yeah. This is a shocker. I mean it’s not like I ever mention the show, ha ha!).
Juliana’s necklace, Tagomi’s pin, something from the Smith house, one of Kido’s hats, a film reel—anything! 

2. An antique from the 40s
A relic from WWII, an old typewriter, a stapler (check this beauty out!)—Anything!

3. Cash
You can’t go wrong with some good old fashion cash
2 dollar bills, y'all!

4. A replica of one of Helen Smith’s dresses
I want her entire wardrobe

5. Art supplies
These days I’ve been flying through sketchbooks like crazy!

What five things would you find in your dream mystery box?


Shy. Introvert. Stargazer. Grasshopper. Loves art, The Man in the High Castle, and Star Trek.

Already? I think things have finally slowed down…Let’s hope I didn’t just jinx myself by typing that! I’ve done a lot of knitting since the last time I posted an update. It was a bit crazy there for a while since I foolishly decided to knit a bunch of things in one month for gifts! Well, at least I know better now! I had a great four day vacation last weekend and was able to complete a digital drawing I’ve wanted to do since July. "Lisa Thompson" 800 x 800 px || 2.5 hours || digital Believe it or not, there is a huge story behind Lisa Thompson that has nothing to do with Babylon 5 aside from the fact that in my head she's a P7 telepath with the Psi Corps. Back in July, one of the summer hires sat near me, and we'd make up characters, giving them their own voices. Lisa was my favorite out of my bunch, so I had sketched her out with a ball point pen, Psi Corps badge and all, and pinned her up on one of my cubical walls. I figured it was high time she got digital treatm...

Creativity, Meet my Nemesis, Reality

I’ve been thinking about the creative process a lot lately, so I decided to do a seven part series on it--helpful ways you can tap into your inner creative genius to produce something awesome. Whether you're an artist, a writer, a graphic designer, or into arts and crafts, I hope you'll find this series useful. Why am I doing this all of a sudden? Let's just say that I recently had a run in with reality. I jumped headfirst into a tub of ice and got a painful reminder of how rough blindly leaping into unknown waters can be. Yes, I should have known better. I should have done my homework, and I shouldn't have laid a first draft bare like that. My feelings = ouch. Lesson learned. Image originally found on Wikimedia Commons - Public Domain But it wasn't for nothing. It jolted me awake as if I had just guzzled down a giant can of Monster before pulling an all nighter. I am the typical, excitable American. We have a grave weakness for letting that hot rus...
