One of the assignments I have this semester is to design some packaging.

So I am making a box of J’s, Jools Jewels, whatever. I’ve designed the box but the actual dimensions depended on the size of the contents.

I’ve had a back ache for the last few days, so I’d gotten a little behind in my work and instead worked my way through some more charcoal.

Jack O’lantern, jurassic dinosaur, jug, blue jay, jonquil, jaw and jaguar.

Today I painted my completed little J jewels and while I still have to make the 8th piece and finish the paint work on the others, I have enough pieces to get the size of the box sorted. I had really clear pictures of what my tiny sculptures were to look like and I can tell you that what I ended up with - is not what I visualised.

As the project continues I’ll keep you abreast of what is happening and how it is going. I have to the end of June sometime - not much time to complete this.

Logging off, Jools
