stamps

So before I forget again, this is the last round of stamps I did. I will be going in and tweaking the first 2 sets I posted, I just haven't gotten that far yet.

Index/Comencement images

So these are the images I decided on to include in my index images and one of them wil be shown during comencement.

Playing card tube

This is another piece I'm really happy with, I took playing cards, sewn together and in 2 pieces will contain the aftercare supplies. I'm not crazy about the sewing being so visible, so I found some oversized cards that I may be able to make the entire tube out of, we'll see.

very productive

So had Sat & Sun off this weekend and got quite a bit done, all my envelopes are finished and now it's just incorporating aftercare instructions. But I got a few more things accomplished, below is an image of the 8-ball bra, yes i ruined a bra (not mine) and made it into an 8-ball bra similar to whats seen on the LLT logo. sorry for the poor image....

3 am

So its after 3 am and I've been working on thesis for about 12+ hours straight, this is very long. So I've been working on the packages, but now I'm on my paper and as far as I can tell I'm making perfect sense. but I'll have to check once I get a little sleep........

more stamps

So here's another sheet of stamps I designed, these ones are more focused on conveying my thesis work. I still have another sheet about my thesis but have decided not to post them just yet because I don't think they're there yet.

stamps

So right now I'm taking a break and working on creating a postage stamp around thesis. The first one I had an idea for unfortunately didn't have anything to do with thesis, but I thought the stamp was a good idea, originally I wanted a tree symbol in the middle, but I felt with the sketchy quality that it got a little muddled since the stamp itself is so small. So here's the first round, the 2nd one that actually relates to my thesis will be coming soon.

IMAGES!!!

This post and the previous one are the images of some of the containers I worked on over "break".  Within this post are the images of the clover box, which is still very much an in progress piece. The next post is images of some re-apropriated packages, I took padded mailing envelopes and lined them with this awesome flannel backed satin, so the envelopes are completely unassuming from the exterior and it's not until you actually open them that you get the experience.
So..... please enjoy and give me some feedback! thanks!

more packages......

so as i continue into whats left of this shriveled semester, my goal is to make 60 different package experiences, yes 60. (in all reality, i'll probably get 40, but i have to aim high)
so in the mean time, welcome to my desent into madness.....

post vaca work

sorry i haven't had any new posts, had no internet over the break. I've gotten a fair amount accomplished, some really awesome envelopes, reappropriated packages and a clover box in progress ( the clover box was a bitch). but once i unpack i will post pictures of all work

After care box

So I started assembling/designing a tattoo after care box for the tattoo shop and as another independant project. So far I've only made 1 full size and it is made out of paper which is not strong enough for the function so I will have to iron out materials and I will definitely be making a trip to kinko's tomorrow! So I attached some pics of the after care box as of so far....

Supplies

Got a pic of some of the supplies for my 2nd independant project. Had some hesitations at first, but, things are really coming together now.

time line project

So I revisited my time line project. I decided to do a time line about materials used in packaging. little bit of a more broad topic, so I was able to keep things simple and clear. The dates are not the actual dates so I already know they still need to be fixed. I'm looking for input on the form. Thanks!
