magπ (măg'pī) has arrived at Thread Hill! Spread the word!

I'm excited to announce that the magπ project has arrived at local Edmonton boutique, Thread Hill! As of April 21, 2011, 23 pieces from the collection will be available for purchase, most of which are one-of-a-kind. 

Located at 10725-124 Street, Thread Hill is a lovely little boutique that features a unique and creative collection of local, Canadian, and European fashion. Kim Hill, the owner of the store, has offered a fantastic chance to showcase my work, and I'm happily looking forward to working with her.

This has also given me the opportunity to play around with my rusty graphic skills again, as I've had to finalize my packaging and presentation. Because I couldn't bring myself to commit to professional jewelry packaging yet (very pricey for a beginner!), I've opted to create my own in the meantime.

Due to my love for beautiful handmade paper, and a hommage to Japan and the art of origami, the magπ collection comes packaged in one of 3 different origami containers. And yes...I made them all. And yes...I might have gone overboard. Just a wee.

If you can't make it out to the store right away, check out the slide show to see what's new:





If you're on facebook, visit the Random Life Project page, and let me know what you think! Feedback is always great to have. :)

While I was all gung ho with posting photographs (and procrastinating from spring cleaning), I've also updated the main website with a new Random Life Project logo. I figured it was about time I did something about my portfolio brand.

As you can see, the brand colour is the same as magπ, which shouldn't be a surprise at all. The logo itself probably isn't as sophisticated as I would like to think magπ is, but it allows me to use "rlp" as a convenient short brand form.

Anyway, that's about it. Having finished such a huge project (on so many levels), I'm now in recovery mode. This long weekend I'll likely be unconscious for a good chunk of it. And boy am I looking forward to it. :)
