I am still plodding along with this project. I took every bit of feedback to heart, maybe too closely at times. As much as I want to thank everyone for their reflections, it was the wife that has been the most tenacious...i suppose that is her role.
To begin with I have toned down the scope of the project, even though it would seem to most to have expanded. I have removed the Astrology and the I ching. Those are great ideas that deserve their own place and time. This allowed me to focus on the Enneagram and the small mountain of art I had created along the journey of creating the animation, The Living Symbol, that is on the faces.

I re-designed the tuckboxes, this render from blender shows the tuck boxes with layers are that are designed for foil work. I have created shadow layers that are printed over the foil of various colors. I don't know if I will even follow through on this avenue, I just had a lot of fun figuring out how to do it and playing around in Blender. At the moment I am painting each of these tuck boxes with the Copic markers. The none-foil tuckboxes will have art created in the same vein as the animation on the faces.
