Hole-Punch Assignment

On the first day of my experimental darkroom class, we were asked to bring in a 4×5 negative, punch 5 holes out of it, trade hole punches with another student, and go into the darkroom and try to make something cool. This is the oddest assignment I’ve been given… here were my results..ImageImageImageImageImage

Textile Idea

I think this would be a cool pattern for a backpack or piece of luggage. Now all I have to do is learn to print on fabric and sew, yea, that’s all..

Just for Fun

I was in the mood to design something.. so I made an advertisement for surfing, haha.

Wedding Program

This is a program I designed for my sister’s wedding ceremony. The cover page is a smooth, thick stock and the 2 inside pages are textured linen paper, assembled with red and white string. 

Mini Art Projects

This is an invitation I made for my sister’s bridal shower. Made to emulate a vintage sewing pattern. The dress pieces go inside of the envelope, pictured in the middle.

And lastly, a little birthday card!
