I am amazed at how much can get accomplished in a day - despite taking care of two kids, doing laundry, vacuuming, bathing, changing diapers, playing soccer in the park. there is definitely no napping here. I have too much to do in a day and the only person who gets to nap is piper. some last minute details before set-up at the TOAE on friday a.m. is getting my artist statement printed and mounted and getting my name sign together - john just finished painting my display walls. it's a joint effort around here - that is mainly why things get done. I was contemplating using kraft jewellery boxes for the embroidered badges that will be sold along with my sculptural work - after much experimenting I decided to go with this matchbook idea. I think it works perfectly. I am able to have the badges on display and the cover goes over the badge to keep it clean and safe before it gets worn. On the bottom I decided to sew it instead of using a staple - which makes it a nice detail - these will be sold at my booth and I didn't make many and each one is different - so come by early to get your hands on one.

  3. Wow, what a brilliant packaging solution. You're so clever. And the little stitch instead of a staple makes it a cut above what was already a top-notch concept. Hope the show goes well.xx

  5. Along with everyone else: the match book idea is brilliant. Perhaps your logo or name on the front would be the final touch.
    Hope to see you this weekend.
