Of boxes and business cards…

So related to my secret project I went and did a little shopping at the dollar store…

So as part of the project I need a box to hold money in. This one seemed like a good idea but then I realized that I need a box that I can lock. So I’ll have to find another one and come up with another use for this box. And here I thought I’d have a pretty, girly money box!

Lots of room to put money and…stuff!

Note to self: Pull feet in when taking photos lol…They really do sell pretty stuff at dollar stores. Now this box is for holding little decorations and decals that I had picked up.

My decals! No wonder scrapbooking is so popular, all the little embellishments for it are so dang cheap!

So I took another crack at making business cards and following Finni’s advice, added some artwork to the card design.

Can’t get more personal than drawing chibi caricatures of oneself! Especially slightly pissed ones! Thinking I might change the black and white background on the backside of the card and use the gray-black patterned background that’s on the front instead.

I really like this second design! I hope it isn’t extra expensive to custom cut rounded cards, haven’t seen many people with cards like this. Better get these printed and see how they come out.

Last but not least, I’ve started working on a new website layout. Inspired by a blog post by the artist Shilin I’m going to put up a little test page at http://tranquil-solace.com/ts3 , I think I may actually go and tweak the layout in photoshop for a little bit.
