I never took shop class. I was a theatre kid.
So why am I at Home Hardware building a 4ft chocolate box? 🍫
Shoutout to James for not letting me absolutely ruin this project.
Part 1 = materials + blind optimism
Part 2 = assembling the box
Part 3 = making the chocolates
Part 4 = the final photoshoot fantasy
Follow along if you wanna see if I pull this off or spiral creatively.
At 40, life isn’t linear.
It’s 10 side quests, mild delusion, and one very specific creative obsession.
Right now?
A giant box of chocolates. 🍫
