I love Fairy Tales. I grew up with them being read to me, and I spent my days watching the movie adaptations and pretending to be in them. This inspired me to create my Fairy Tale Survival Kit. I enjoyed that project so much that I decided to continue the project with a spin off series. This time I created individual boxes inspired by public domain stories.

 

This set is based off of the story Rapunzel. This kit includes a rapunzel plant since it is the preface of the conflict. The story goes that her parents lived next a witch that had a garden. Rapunzel's mom was pregnant and had a craving for the plant, so the father went and picked some from the witch's garden and fed it to his wife. She craves it even more so he again returns to the garden and picks more. He gets caught and the witch agrees to be lenient as long as she can have the child once it is born. He agrees and Rapunzel is raised by the witch. When she grows up, the witch locks her in a tower and climbs up her hair when she needs to see her. One day a prince discovers her, calls up for Rapunzel to let down her hair, they meet and they plan their escape. The ending varies on which version of the story you read. The rest of the kit is inspired by what I think Rapunzel would need to stay happy in the tower. This kit would include a brush, to brush her long hair. An activity kit, to keep her occupied. As well as a companion, in this case it would be an animal figurine.

 

The hardest part of creating this was designing for the medium. The shapes are created from transfer vinyl. This created a big challenge for me because I had to design with basic shapes that would still aide me in telling the stories.
