Sample making!

This week I have been working on producing a sample for my final product. I started off by experimenting with one of my samples by embellishing it and introducing another texture element. I think this was a good idea because it added another dimension to my samples and it also finished them of and gave them another luxurious feel and emphasising my concept for a bespoke hand made wedding invitation. I plan to add these to a few of my samples as I would like to offer a choice and show a more embellished envelope and a more simple but still effective one. I also created an envelope myself this was a difficult task but I feel that the envelope is professionally made and I have refined the making to make sure it looks good enough to be in the degree show and also good enough to sell to clients. My next plan is to continue making more envelope samples and also create cards. I have planned to make my cards a mixture of paper meshed with fabrics I am also combining foiling with the puff binding technique for my cards. Still keeping my slightly raised cushion section as part of my card.
