Treasure Box by Ciara Lucking
The Treasure Box Project was an online participatory project organised by AccessArt in 2012. We compiled 50 boxes, full of a variety of found objects and materials, some second hand with a history, some new. The Treasure Boxes were available for purchase (all proceeds to the AccessArt charity) and bought by artists, teachers and parents. The aim: to transform the contents of your box into an artwork.

I am 10 and I love art, so my Mum was looking for a good website that I would enjoy and she found this one.
When I first got this box in the post I didn’t know what to create. Most of the things I got in the box like the wool samples, the picture of peas in a pod, some mini tiles and bricks, a square of artificial grass I didn’t actually use. In my head I had an image of an old attic with lots of Victorian artefacts and toys like rocking horses and big trunks full of clothes and fabric. In the corner there is a little servant’s dress which a young scullery maid would have worn. As I started to build it up I decided I wanted to turn it into a two story building with a small garden. I really enjoyed it and had absolutely no help at all.
