I've been fascinated by geodes since I was a small child. The first I ever saw was at my grandmother's house. I remember seeing the rock, which looked like any other rock, with a rubber band around it. But when the band was removed, and the two halves opened to reveal the sparkling crystals within, I was hooked. What four year old girl doesn't like sparkly things? I looked forward to playing with that geode every time we went to visit.I had been planning a series of pieces made up of units that can be arranged, connected, rearranged, removed and folded up into three dimensional geometric shapes that hide something within, and I had been thinking of the series as "geodes". So for this Hidden Treasures challenge, I decided to do a literal interpretation of the geode. Each unit is a 6" high triangle that folds into a 3" tetrahedron with texture and sparkly crystals inside and plain rock outside. The assembled piece is 15.5"h x 6"w.
