freeze frames



Finally...here are some of my adventures with cardboard and boxes.
The top image is a custom box that I designed for my son for a high school biology project...(yes, I am the kind of mother who meddles and helps too much).
The second image is a cardboard book truck that I designed for my Nancy Pearl action figure. I canabalized a toy dump truck for the wheels.
The third image is a box that I created to store stuff when I was working in an area that had zero personal space. It's a Costco-sized Quaker Oatmeal box that I turned inside out, attached wooden legs to, and painted black. A button sewn to the top and a ribbon with a useless key keep it closed. (I turned it inside out because paint didn't adhere well to the slick outside). I've had this box kicking around for at least five years.
