The little firends are finally up here after the return of exhibition.
As you may (or maynot)realise that they are made with scrapped
papers, mostly the back of envelops. It is not necessary to have
fancy paper to do paper crafting; if you pay enough attention to
paper all around, you will be surprised by what you find!

I am still putting my exegesis together. (slowly & sometimes sadly)
Assuming I need to work it through the weekend and rush straight
to printer and bindery before the uni door is shut on Monday.
Risky, exciting and very last-minute...

It's a wrap...not quite yet

It's a wrap.

This is one of the exhibits for my honours show. If people still remeber this super last-minutely made wrap from last semester, here are the proper photos that I promised to put up before.

Finally, the show ended this Thursday, and so did the fabulous business plan. I spent whole friday afternoon photographing all my paper friends, the process was super tiring but so exciting at the same time. Then, it's up to the editing part which will need a while to get them all done, so I am going to put photos up along my long and sad editing process ( I think I have over 100 photos on the waiting list...)

Well, first up is the Curiouser & Curiouser exhibition catalogue. The identiy,the lovely big line ball, is done by kristy, and I did the poster and the packaging for the catalogue. The poster is folded up to carry our project posters which make up the exhibition catalogue. Unfold the sides of the package and push them towards each other, it will become a box!

I think because of my willfulness, I made everyone do quite abit of folding ;p

The Paper Journey

The overall look

Paper Play

Well, here they are, my paper things at Curiouser&curiouser!
Left to right: Paper Play, Black Christmas Trees and It's a wrap.

I spent almost a year mucking around with paper, and I had so much fun with it. I think it would be nice to share the fun, so I summerise what I have learnt and designed this Paper Play game. The green cards, make it, are paper handicraft tasks and the yellow cards, learn it, are some interesting facts or stories about paper. The little white animals are the tokens for the game. The photos next to the game is how the game board looks like when it is folded up. (yes, no extra packaging or container, the game board itself is the container!) I am not going to explain how the game works here unless you really want to know. It is abit hard to get it without playing. ;p

For the little paper things on the Trees, they are more challenging to make, so I didn't include them in the game, but I guess they deserve to be shown. They would look nicer to be shot individually, so photos will be up when these little friends go home.

Last, but not the least. It's a wrap (see close up) is also displayed. I made this as a concludsion of what I have done in semester 1. I still feel so glad that I didn't take it to laser cut machine and got it done by my hands. I think that is what make it more meaningful to me and to my poject. Hope you like them!
