freeze frames





These are images of an existing box (that started life protecting a book) that I made into a wine glass carrier. It holds four glasses and a corkscrew and it tucks nicely between all those cases of wine we usually end up buying on jaunts to Walla Walla or Zillah. I attached purse handles, padded the inside with quilt batting and fabric, piped the edge and...viola! for a few bucks and minimal time investment I have a spiffy little picnic tote.
These are not my most exciting or creative cardboard projects...but I did promise photos. That's the thing about cardboard, when what you create has out- lived it's usefulness, the recycle bin is only a toss away.

Hey, CQ, this is great! How long did it take you to make this? It's great how you think outside the box.

It's interesting that I try to think outside the box yet I love boxes so much. Well, it's interesting to me. I spent a couple of hours on the wine glass box. I probably spent more time at the fabric store fussing about the handles than I did making the darn thing.
In the end, it's just another way to show off. That's what it's all about. Without exception. It's the Scorpio in me, I can't be held responsible.

Ok, it's not ALL about showing off. It's really about the creative vibe, and the need to create. And maybe a little bit of showing off.
