paper beads made from readymade argali paper

Argali Paper Beads made from readymade argali paper
the one still on the toothpick is stuck, proof that vaseline
is needed to coat the toothpick before making in order
for an easy, gentle release of a finished paper bead!

Made some paper beads on behalf of ash for samples to take to our final meeting at SMU on Tues evening. This will be an alternative method, creating beads from readymade stained argali paper, rather than the previous post on paper pulp argali beads.

The ones I have made are from the scraps from the creation of artworks for The Sustainable Shop exhibition. These beautiful pieces of argali paper had been prestained with plant dye , probably during the process of making the pulp, and the colour don't seem to run unlike felt tip markers.

I really miss making random little trinkets. The last time i made a bunch of these was when I was 12 after PSLE and doing drawings and other recreational stuff. I also remember borrowing the same beadmaking book more than 20 times in 3 years- sometimes i borrow it and let it sit at a corner of my room until it's due without flipping through it, just because I loved it so much!

I actually have some conical purple ones around the house(this reminds me, i should make a conical one with instructions from the back of my mind!)

Edgeworthi Gardneri : Set up in Progress

the previous Minutes of Meeting zine exhibition helped me a lot with the planning of Edgeworthia Gardneri's set up.
Everything went according to plan( plus and minus here and there)

set up began at 12 noon. here are some preview of the artworks, and a failed poster print

they decided not to change the fonts, and use coffee to stain it.
i would have preferred for it to go as planned but i guess the mind has to be
kept open for changes and suggestions

our darling lecturers Betty and Hazel hard at work

design lecturers Stanley & Andri helped with the vinyl cut sticker transfers
it was Stanley who did the die cut first on illustrator before sending it for printing : )

I got my simple silhouette design printed at Peace Center before delivering
it to them for the paint job. Bridget & Melissa worked hard on this, with Michael who is not in the picture

Edgeworthi Gardneri : Packaging Labels

we had decided to create our own branding and labels for the exhibtion as the artworks as products will be sold at the shop area.
Fold the tag, punch a hole, add a ribbon, ready to go!

Edgeworthi Gardneri : Poster

I was frantically photoshopping it in the Praxis- photoshop was laggy, com keeps crashing- when some stupit bugger kept asking me for my results.

Is that all that matters to you, huh, after not seeing each other for months after graduation?
Some people are just so damn competitive. WTF is wrong with these people?!?
