This cheerful group of young ladies from San Juan Cosala visited me today to see my art boxes for inspiration for the ones they are creating for a competition I’m sponsoring.The show will be held a Isidro Xilonzochitl’s studio in San Juan on January 22. That’s Isidro in back.
These are the boxes with bases that I bought to give to the participants.They will need to add a back before creating their own response to the challenge.
Here are a few of the boxes they saw at my house. These are all by me.

And here is another one by Belia Canals:
Can’t wait to see what these young ladies plus the four women who couldn’t come today create for the January show. This will be the first in a series of challenges and workshops I hope to conduct this year.

Oh! what creativity is going to be going on at your house and in your studio. What a generous project you’re sponsoring, Judy, and inspiring young artists to create who knows what. I hope you’ll show us some of their work that ultimately comes from the experience.

Luckily, a friend just bought out a box factory and had a warehouse with stacks of them in it, including these forms perfect for collage or retablos. Synchronicity.
