In 2017, my friend Tom Robison taught me how to make crankies. They are long panoramic illustrations, that you can “crank” through a viewing box to accompany a story or song. Over the past 10 years I’ve made lots of them, and enjoyed helping other people make them. You can follow my @BozemanCrankie Instagram<\/a> to see what I’ve been up to, and see updates about crankie events, or visit my Marla Goodman Crankies<\/a> playlist on Youtube to see some crankies I’ve made and helped others to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to make crankies. Sue Truman has gathered plenty of intel on how to do it at her Crankie Factory <\/a>website, and also some wonderful crankie performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I devised a way to make almost any kind of discarded box into a crankie box. This pattern for Kleenex Box crankies is one example. Feel free to download it and improve on it! Ask me questions, if you need help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
