Sneak Peek: Packaging
I hope you’re all having a nice, relaxing Easter weekend. It’s a windy ol’ Good Friday ’round these parts; I pity anyone attempting a picnic! A quiet day at home for me. I’ve been working on my jewellery packaging (as you can see from the pics) & now I’m done with that for now, it’s time to go & bake some cinnamon scrolls with pecans & cranberries (in lieu of hot cross buns – vegan ones are tricky to come by) & perhaps get in a little sofa time & watch some DVDs. I’ve been thinking of re-watching Atonement because I saw another Ian McEwan adaptation on the teev the other day, Enduring Love, which I really enjoyed. The beginning was so haunting, it’s still stuck in my head! Has anyone seen it? I do love Atonement, but you’ve got to be in a buoyant mood because it’s so terribly sad!
Anyway, here are some sneak peeks at my jewellery packaging. I’m rather happy with it! I’ve posted so many photos because none of them really do these enticing little boxes justice – there’s something very tactile & pick-up-able about them. The designs are influenced a little by vintage matchboxes & mid-20th century Chinese apothecary labels, as well as 1930s-40s beauty products. The boxes have a genuinely vintage look, in part due to my paper choice, which is made to emulate old, faded butcher paper. It has a lovely sheen & feel. For once, I could make my designs unashamedly girly because the products are solely for we gals. Sorry chaps, I might do some tiepins & cufflinks in future!
These look SO GREAT. Am always so impressed at your work, I feel like I’m in constant awe. These are perfect for your creations! x
Thank you Megan! There’s always that little bit of anxiety that creeps in when I’m set to release something new, so I really appreciate the positive feedback!
Beautiful packaging. What a great look!
Thanks Mark! Perhaps you can have one if you’re good.
Happy Easter I love the packaging. Where can I order those little cans and I love the boxes. Could someone shoot me an email or convo at my ETSY shop. So I guess you what get your logo or pictures put on them. I wanna know about that also Happy Easter everyone and if someone can please let me know about the packaging.
Most of the boxes are readily available, you should be able to search for them on Etsy. The tins I buy here in Australia, but I imagine they’re available in the US too. I do it all myself in terms of designing, printing & labelling, but you might be able to find someone to do that for you!
It’s really lovely! Definitely makes one want to buy lots!
Thank you! I HOPE it makes people want to buy lots! :)

Thanks Kat! :)
Fantastic. Perfect as usual. How do you do it?!!?
Thank you Noar! I don’t know how everyone else does it, but I stare into space, drink tea, make lots of scribbles, think & fuss too much, procrastinate, & finally, pull something together at the end. :P
Whoa! gorgeous packaging and love the jewellery ~ pls keep me posted when you open shop
that ‘staring into space/drinking tea ect..’ certainly works like magic
you are definitely magic :-}
Thank you Malou! I will most definitely announce my shop opening here on my blog & send out a newsletter. :)
