2.3.11 ... melmac impressions

today's project is a perfect example of my creative style. i have no idea seconds before i begin something what on earth i will be getting into. i was making listing notes about some melmac dinnerware i am going to add to my joonE vintage shop when i saw the company logos as potential rubbings. because i really love the designs and fonts. and i am always drawn to anything made in the u.s.a.

i only had a chance to play around for a few minutes. i will spend more time having fun with this tomorrow. these three are my favorites from today. the third one is from another brand. these rubbings are tricky because of the edges. i am experimenting with various papers, crayons and pencils. i will perservere. and i look forward to seeing what i decide to do with the rubbings.

Packaging Counts

A combination of recycled and new working well together

Here's a recent order all ready to go. I found this THANK YOU stamp irresistible. Since I usually hand write and illustrate everything I had to find a way to incorporate that handmade element. The stitching and colored in hearts satisfy my sensibilities and
transform this into one of my bookmarks
all at the same time.

This card doubles as a securing device for
the magnets {seen below}. The handmade corner bookmark
is a combo of recycled papers & added touches.
It compliments the magnets.

I love quotes. Especially handwritten versions.

These magnets are attached
with a mere loop of scotch tape
so they are easily removed, no harm done.
Viola ~ another bookmark.

Another order all wrapped up & ready to go

I know I spend way too much time on my packages, but I seem unable to break this special treatment habit. I'd love to hear about & see your packaging style.
What is your signature wrap?

Until next time...
