Long before I ever started swapping, for one of my own books, I used the original Epcot Future World pavilion logos as the inspiration for a set of paper piecings. Most of the original logos have been removed as each of the pavilions were updated. The Land was one of the last pavilions to still use it, as you could find them on the Fastpass machines for "Living with the Land." But I think those are even history now.
The Land's symbol had so many openings that I thought it would make a very cool shaker box. Little did I know how much trouble those shakers would cause. For some reason, every adhesive I used would not stick to both the fun foam and the paper. I thought I had finally found one, but when I was sorting my swap stuff, I found mine had split open again. So if I made one of these for you, and it popped open, I apologize.
The tag is inspired by the balloons that hang over the center of the pavilion. Each balloon represents a different season: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
The grass paper and the paper for the balloons were all from the DCWV The Stack III.
