Garie was inspired to create the miniature boxes, as his creations were expanding rapidly, it was too small to display them. Many of Garie's friends and admirers would like to hold the miniatures and scrutinise them, but, it was very difficult to hold and view them. Sometimes, someone would accidentally drop the miniature from their hand and it will dissappear into the carpet.
Garie's tiny creations were fragile when held too tightly, there is a tendency for these creations to be damaged. The idea
'in the box' was to provide his miniatures with a lively environment and would find it easier to handle and appreciate them better. These collectable mini box series are individually handmade. No two are exactly the same.
