Own it or Make it!

This box is my latest offering in box design. I was very pleased with the outcome and decided we should video its making for others to make. I cannot recall the timing of things but in the way of how all things often come together, my family wanted to contribute something in support of my granddaughter's nursery school, just to say a big thank you for their positive input into her life. Now I had already made a prototype before this happened. It wasn't really for filming or auctioning, it was just an idea that really came out for me.

A few weeks passed and as we were talking about the nursery and its need to fundraise to support extra projects and activities for the children, the idea came that I could make a second box and for two good reasons. One, we would auction or raffle the final version and, two, we would make a free video and put it out on YouTube so people around the world could make their own or put in a bid to own mine.

I actually made a couple more as Christmas presents for two of my children. I have a couple of how-to blogs for those who like written instructions. Click here for Part 1 and here for part 2. All in all of course there is a third good reason and that is I had a wonderful and rewarding time making more of the boxes and giving them away.

We are selling the box on eBay and donating all proceeds to the nursery. We hope the money raised will benefit children over the coming years.

This will be the first time we have offered any of my work to the public since we started our filming fourteen years ago. I look forward to seeing who the winner will be and then too how many of you will be making the box over the coming years.
