Oh So Many Ideas... to narrow down to my top three.
My thought for my book was to create a Mobius strip pendant
out of silver with a resin with the ashes mixed in to create a ball that
“rolls” on the surface. Because I am
making a piece of jewelry, I’m thinking I should redesign the cover to create a
type of jewelry box or pouch. So here are my two ideas for my “cover”.
1
Make a jewelry box. Each side of the box would
have images from the semester. One side would be the egg, one would be the reuse
project, one would be a doodle, etc. I could either make a doodle of the
projects or I could make an illustration of the projects. I don’t think I’d use
photographs just because I’m not a great photographer. I’m a little particular
and it would drive me nuts to have images on my box that are not what I would
deem high quality.

I could doodle the projects on the back side of
my book cover where it is plain stock. I would then cut this doodle into strip
that would be weaved. I would then take the weaving, line it with a satin to
make a jewelry pouch.

My final idea is to take an image of the doodle
to create a screen print that I would put on the back then stitch it together to make the pouch. I could
also take the words on the cover and from the semester and make a word map that would be screen
printed. I’m not sure which would be easiest.
I’m really excited by all of these ideas and each presents
its own challenges. I have made a lot of boxes for classes at Ivy Tech when we
were learning about package design and I really enjoyed the challenge. I have
an astounding appreciation for stitched paper and think that would be a fun
option. And I have recently started using a screen print kit that I bought
years ago and am constantly thinking of new ways I can use it.
