A few weeks ago I decided to sign up to the Oh Comely magazine 'Perfect Strangers' parcel swap. This is where you swap anything from photographs, food, any type of gift, to a stranger that can be from anywhere in the world (that also reads Oh Comely). I found this aspect quite exciting, so decided to join in myself this year.
As I have been working (boring excuse) I have only just found the time today to make my parcel and package it, to be posted tomorrow (it was supposed to be posted on the 29th June, whoops..).
I decided to make my parcel personal, meaning that everything inside this parcel has been handmade by myself. It features original Screen Prints of woodland creatures in, pressed flowers jewellery, japanese bound leather notebook, lavender heart, polaroid pictures of my favourite things ( Being: My favourite cafe- The English Muse, my cat Dixie & my favourite pastel street in my home town - Hull.)
I also featured an embroidery hoop with some screen printed fabric I made in college, that can be hung on the wall! Along with some flower mono prints/embossings, and a poster of the recent project 'Coastal Finds'.
I then went back to basics and packaged it in brown paper, paper doilies and string, to give it a vintage look.
Now all that is left to do is to go to the post office and finally send it.
I really hope that my 'perfect stranger' likes her parcel :)
Thanks for reading,
and hopefully you will not have to wait as long for my next post!
