A Little Bit of Fairy Dust...

I know how to spend my Saturday night! Filling a tiny bottle with glitter to make cute princess-y jewellery :) Finally my hoarding has come to good use! Next up, an Alice in Wonderland theme...

Thought I'd try a little cut-out experimentation a la Brittney Lee! 

I made this for my lovely and talented friend Laura as a birthday present :) Obviously it's still early days and I have a long way to go, but I think for a first try it turned out fairly well... what do you think?  

It was nice to have a break from Photoshop for a while and work on something more tangible - I think there'll be more to come!

Mmmmm sushi...

A little idea for those of us that don't have unlimited back balances which allow us to regularly dine at posh London Sushi restaurants - DIY sushi! In the real world the tray at the bottom of this box would contain some rather small chopsticks, a cloth napkin and a ceramic wasabi dish.









Each recipe card takes you through how to make a particular type of roll (Uramaki, California etc) and and would be printed with a wipe-clean coating; to complete this project I had to take reference photos and things got rather messy...

Well, hello.

It's a shame that Boots own products don't have lovely boxes like Too Faced and Benefit. I love boxes.

For my first trick, I will be creating some speculative make-up packaging for Boots '17' range. The colour schemes are 'Metallic Toffee', 'Mermaid's Tale' and 'Purple Heart' (my personal favourite, of course). As you can see, the sleeves can be removed to reveal some lovely little cut-outs so that one may view the sumptuous product hidden inside...

This was a bit of a photoshop fumble which luckily didn't end too badly. I have yet to master the wonders of Illustrator which will hopefully result in lovely clean lines instead of slightly botched hand drawn ones.
