Now, this project is no small undertaking (mostly because we're only allowed Friday afternoons to mess around) so it going to take us a few weeks - we don't have any arty skills either, which is quite a hinderance. But what we do have is determination, and an overwhelming desire to not work Friday afternoons. That last fact cannot be overstated.
But, enough with all that talk, lets get up to speed with where we're at:
Well, first thing we needed was a plan. So we got scribbling away and came up withe the basic idea of what Boxey would look like in 3D:

| It turned out that, whilst Katie was better at the technical stuff, Matt had all the squared paper. |
With plans in hand we hunted and gathered all the spare boxes we could find (luckily we've had a lot of deliveries recently, so we've got quite a few boxes knocking around):
 |
| Everything we could possibly need to make our very own Boxey. |
We then quickly threw caution to the wind and began chopping away at our various boxes:
 |
| Very quickly. |
But, as of day one, we are currently a sucess! We've built the basic body shape and found a head for the little box-man, now we've just got some of the details to do... and the arms... and the rest of the body... Ok, there's quite a bit left to do. But that's what next week is for! Here's where we're up to as of today:
 |
| Not much to look at now, but soon he will be king. |
Anyway, thats thats all from us, just enough time for the usual sign-off. You can find you can find all the stuff to make your very own Boxey (or anything else, for that matter) on our website here.
To celebrate the start of our project, we've decided to extend the length of our discount code another week! So, until the 9th of April you can get 15% off of all makedo items using the code FRIDAYFUN (restrictions apply).
