I hope it is clear by these two photographs how clever this home made craft is.
This was not for school. This was a for-fun art I made at home. I would love to tell you to look at the fine detail and see that this must have taken hours on end, but there is no detail. I clearly did it in pencil first and then added the Crayola Washable marker afterwards (wouldn't want to make a mistake) and I didn't even try that hard on the house. No chimney or anything. No other allusions to the story, now cow in the distance, no angry grandmother, was she the grandmother?
I never really cared about the Jack and the Beanstalk story. I thought it was kind of lame. That perplexes me as to why I would have been compelled to make this tricky surprise foldable art. Frankly, I pretty much always thought of Mario and the beanstalks in that. My sister and I did make a lot of Nintendo art. Becky used to draw pictures of Rupees and I would be Link and fight my way around the downstairs looking for them. Maybe I got bored of Mario Art and decided I would make another beanstalk art (I can't think of any other than the two?).
My motives aside, I also felt I should keep this whack craft mixed in with all my other sentimental items. I will let Jack climb to the recycling plant at the top of the beanstalk today.
