I know it's been several months (well, a bit more than several) since my last entry. I do rather have a tendency to disappear from the online world suddenly for extended periods of time. Life beckoning and distracting and all that.
Anyway.
So the most recent and exciting work I've done lately has been as the result of the part-time job I have at a Papyrus store. Last year, Papyrus started this project with paper dresses. A couple weeks ago, they decided to do another round of dresses, which are wedding themed this time, and my store manager suggested that I design and create a few.
I worked on a number of sketches, and wound up with the top three favorites between my store's manager, our district manager, and myself. The first two dresses I finished within a week. They are now displayed in the Papyrus windows of Grand Central Station and Short Hills Mall, which I also helped install/setup.

Short Hills
Because the mannequins the dresses were being displayed on were considerably taller than the mannequins I made them on, we had to add more length to the bottom of both. I also made paper shoes for both.
I have begun working on the third dress, which is due in Florida for a grand opening at the end of February. I'll be sure to put up pictures of that one when it's finished.
I do just want to state plainly before wrapping this up, that this project is owned by and the property of Papyrus and the Schurman Fine Retail Group.
Until next time, farewell.
