About this piece
I made this as a Christmas countdown you can feel. The calendar is a sturdy box, about 230 x 222 x 50 mm, divided into 24 small rooms. Each room is closed by its own lid, and every lid carries a raised print number and a Braille numeral, so the days can be found by fingertip. On top of each lid sits a small Christmas bust that works as the lid's handle: you grip the figure, lift the lid and reach the room underneath. The busts are a fixed part of the design, one for each day: a reindeer, polar bear, penguin, dove, lamb, donkey, owl, fox, Santa, angel, snowman, elf, nutcracker, gingerbread man, nativity stable, crowns, star, church, pine cone, candle, gift box, candy cane, wreath and Christmas tree. The rooms themselves are for small treats you supply, such as chocolate; treats are not included. The box prints in PLA Rosewood, which has a lovely feel and finish, and the lids are a multi-colour design with white print numbers and Braille, while the busts range from silver to golden.
Why I made it this way
- I use 24 lidded rooms, each lid with a raised print number and a Braille numeral.
- I make each lid's bust distinct enough to recognise by touch, and it doubles as the handle.
- I keep the box compact enough for a shelf, table or mantel.
- I designed it to be reused year after year.
- I made it for families where blind, visually impaired and sighted people share the same countdown.
What arrives
If you choose the printed option, I send the box with all 24 lids and their busts cleaned, checked and ready to fill with your own treats; treats are not included. Some small parts are included, so keep them away from very young children.
Printing and finishing
I make printed orders to order in Denmark. I inspect the print, clean the edges, check the compartments and pack everything safely before shipping.
