Book of tea delivery bear
This is a little pouch of Japanese seaweeds and fish flakes for rice that my mom sent me. I love the packaging so much, I was thinking hmmm… how to use this beautiful packaging and turn into something special.
So it turned into a little book!
It’s an accordion book about “Tea delivery bear”
Here is the story!
This is the “tea delivery bear” he is carrying a box of tea.
He travel through the forest
On a ship across the ocean
Through Mt.Fuji
To a little lady’s house
The end!
