I'm hoping to add something to this blog every day. Well that's the theory anyway. I've only recently started using Facebook. I've not got round to it before and I must admit it can take over your life if you're not careful. I think I've got the hang of it now. From there I discovered Pintrest. Now that is addictive! I can spend hours surfing the net trying to find things I would like to add.
I am a crafter. I learnt to sew my own clothes when I was about 14, and then learnt to knit and crochet. I guess I've always been artistic I now have lots of time on my hands. My 3 children have all left home and I developed a debilitating illness 7 years ago. So, I started to make cards. Over the years I've tried my hand at lots of different things. I soon discovered that a lot of other people were doing the same thing, so I turned to making exploding boxes. The name huginafold was a perfect description of what I was making, and so the boxes became huginafold boxes. These are some of my Xmas 2012 boxes.
I made snowmen with different coloured hats and scarves. They sat on a square of snow.
I made some art deco style black and silver, with silver trees and little black and silver parcels around the base.
This is a more traditional design and was one of the first types I made. The 3D Xmas tree was decorated with swags of red glitter, and there were multi coloured parcels underneath.
I also make huginafold boxes for any occasion. I don't think there is an occasion I haven't covered over the years. The good thing about the boxes is that they can be personalised so that they become a keepsake. To date I've never made two the same. They are all unique in some way or other. I'm working on taking better photos, and then I will add new boxes as they are made.
If you are interested send me a message via my http://www.facebook.com/huginafold/ Facebook page
Until next time.......
