The Music Box

Music is truly a magical thing.  

My submission is based on the music boxes I remember from my early years.  I was always fascinated by the small hand cranked devices that produced such beautiful sounds.  

In my mind when you turn the crank, the music plays and the ballerina dances.  While my build is not functional, I think it could be for those with more talent than I.  The ballerina dances on the morning mist as she returns to the water to become a swan.  

The front mural is based on the tale from Swan Lake.  I tried to create a little magical effect design to link the change from swan to girl through the day and night. 

I wanted to give it a personal touch so I included a little inscription similar to my mothers own box, given to her by my grandfather.
