Places, packed

Whole landscapes packed into luggage, boxes and glass.

An old leather suitcase on a station bench opens onto a snowy mountain with pine trees, a chalet and a cable car.
“A briefcase full of winter”, Fresh slop

A briefcase on a railway platform holds a snowy mountain with a ski lift. A picnic basket holds a village; a glass padlock a walled garden; a matchbox a pine wood; an acorn an autumn; an ice cube a desert with a camel; a perfume bottle a canal and its bridge; a crystal paperweight a glacier; a pillow an ice cave; a ring box a basketball court; a copper kettle a lake in a wood; an hourglass a village of bread under falling flour.

The Slopwright’s portrait on slopped.site has him building a seaside town in a sardine tin. The codex proposes that these are the same craft done to other places, and packed for travel. This entry is proposed by the codex, from pictures on the wall that are all machine-made, and is not canon until approved.

“A briefcase full of winter”: Possible, the golden mountain kind. Model mountains with working cable cars are a whole hobby. Packing one is merely odd.
In Meinong’s jungle
“Packed village”: Possible, the golden mountain kind. Model villages are a hobby with a club and a newsletter. Packing one for lunch is the only novelty.

“The paperweight glacier”: Impossible, the round square kind. A mountain range in a paperweight would be a model. The glacier leaving it at full size settles otherwise.
