I devoted pretty much all of my Sunday this week to try out a couple of ideas that I had recently. First up was a shirt with a bleached design. I went with a simple coy inspired design. It wasn’t completely successful, but it came out well enough to encourage me to try it again (perhaps combining it with screen printing in some way). Next up was a business card holder made with those cool melty beads I used to make my nintendo themed ornaments. This was also not entirely successful, but I was really just testing it out. Turns out it is not very easy to fuse together a box made of these beads. Next go around I’ll probably use some sort of glue or epoxy to bind together the sides. All in all, these were really fun things to try out! (Click the thumbnails for the whole gallery of images).

Also, Saturday night I went out to see a friend of mine and his band Vinny Vegas play at The Ottobar. I highly recommend, they put on a really great show.

My business cards and stickers have come in and both look really great!

I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t get the stickers die-cut, but I was trying to do it on the cheap.

I also made a few “super” themed christmas ornaments for our soon-to-be tree. Check them all out!
