shameless self-promotion

I’ll admit it, I’m pretty proud of myself for this. It’s my first packaging design project!! I haven’t been doing graphic design for very long, so I still get excited each time something I make turns into more than just a document on my computer desktop. These are self-promotional projects, so none of them were actually realized, although we are thinking of giving our clients the wine as gifts. My boss gave me free reign on these pieces so coming up with the concepts, design, and then printing and making everything in house for the photo shoot was really fun.

DIY: earrings from lace

I thought I’d share a little project of my own today! I made these earrings a while ago, with a gift of lace from a neighbor. This is so simple (no, I didn’t make the lace), I just cut out pieces of it and sewed it to earring hooks that I bought at a bead store. I’ve been scouring the internet to try to find a place to buy more lace like this, but I haven’t had much luck. This is the closest thing I’ve found: Kalena’s etsy shop. I’ll be keeping my eyes open since I’d love to make more earrings like this, and I’d love links to other online lace shops if you know of any!
