Remember the picture that was propped up against the wall in my Shed? Here it is outside, in the last of the snow, looking rather smart on its nice new easel.
We’re getting ready for a stall at an event in May, which I’ll tell you a bit more about once we’ve received confirmation that we can go ahead! Hopefully we’ll be launching the INEXPLICABLE EMPORIUM there, and this is the sign that we’ll be taking with us!
I’ve been ordering lots of materials and packaging, and doing a bit of product design while I wait for them to arrive.
Hopefully some of the things that I’ve been showing you recently are starting to make a bit more sense now!
I also have all of the ingredients necessary to make some scented candles, to which we’ll be giving thoroughly silly names and descriptions.
The idea is to give the impression of a Victorian-style shop, with a wide range of different products. Obviously the things I’m making are thoroughly anachronistic, but that’s all part of the fun! I’ve been really enjoying writing the copy and designing the labels. I knew my degree in Typography & Graphic Communication would come in useful one day…
