I have turned the backing of the jar into a bag, where there is also a pocket inside to hold the controller for the lights. I have kept the continuity of the bag by using the same fabric to back it as I have done the top of the jar.

creating the final product
Overall I am pleased with how the final piece has turned out, but although I made mock ups of the final objects, I didn't practice on how to glue the pieces together and found it very difficult to stick the clay model to the clear plastic without marking and damaging it. I also think that if given the chance again I would consider simplifying the product as I found a huge amount of time was needed to make it, where as if I had made it simpler I would not of had to of started so early, and could of used the time to develop the piece further.
working with clay
Within the text Lily is trying to escape from her life and to find out her past. I have had the idea to have her climbing up the inside of the honey jar. With her hanging on such a smooth surface the idea is to not know whether she will slip back into her past.
Adding the lights...
Below I made a mock up of the house featured in the book, i've chosen to make this the main focal point as i think its such a key feature in the book. Its the only place that Lily has ever felt completely safe. The lights will also go at the top of the bag but the main place will be behind the windows.
making the bag 3d
I actually made this before the midway review. But the review gave me a much clearer idea of how to enhance the design. My original thought was to recreate the illustration behind the globed out honey jar. But once I had discussed this idea I realised this could be taken a lot further and the objects inside could be made much more 3 dimensional. The start of making these are pictured below.
