Art Puzzle Boxes

[YoukaiAlchemist]

I'm very interested in learning to make puzzle boxes as a hobby. O.o This might be in the wrong board--but, hey! I consider puzzle design an art!. anyways, I was hoping some of you could help me out.

Basically i'm asking: does anyone know how I can get started designing puzzle-boxes and the like? ^_^ If so please let me know.

(P.S. I promise I won't end up like Lemarchand. :P LOL)

[size=1]Perhaps if you could offer us what exactly you mean by "making puzzle boxes." If you could tell us that, perhaps we could offer you a few points of improvement.

That, and we don't know of yoru ability in terms of any art, so providing a few samples would be beneficial too.[/size]

By puzzle box, I meant something along the lines of a "Personal Treasure Box" ^_^These are highly decorative boxes in japan that can only be opened by pressing key pressure points on them.

That or maybe just a regular puzzle box. the kind you twist, and pull, and push on until it goes from a cube, to whatever shape, until the peaces can be slid out of place. (Like the Hellraiser Box, only not evil. :P Lol) Either way, I want them to be hyper coolz.

as for my art,here's a pic of my puzzle design...the unsolved version. lemme know what you think. [url]http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f231/Tanukioh/?action=view¤t=puzzle_box.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch1[/url]
