More Fun With Packaging

These home-baked biscuits in home-made packaging were given to pals (also our new neighbours!) Ms Carpet and K-Pop. I really do like packaging things. One of my many dream jobs is to be sitting at a massive bench, equipped with all the right tools, playing with all the paper and cardboard in the world and wrapping and boxing stuff up all nice all day. Does such a position exist?

I like looking at this old book (so old that the neon orange cover has faded and the white pages are yellowing around the edges)...

...and imagining a life of making one-off bespoke boxes and packaging for clients with special needs, like a milliner creating hats for people for special occasions. It would be so darn swell, wouldn't it?

Or, I was thinking, I can embark on one of those crazy make-a-thing-a-day projects. There are more than 300 templates for boxes in the book. Enough for a whole year of box-building! We shall see...
