Pretty Packaging

With the Holidays approaching, packaging and gift wrapping are on my mind . . . Look at these beautiful and creative ways that others have wrapped gifts!  The package itself is a gift . . . I love that idea and feel that it resonates with me and how I view the cards I make for Oyster. The entire process of receiving a present –  however large or small, pricey or inexpensive – is turned into a gift of its own because of the pleasure of receiving and opening something so beautiful.   Over the years I have experimented with different styles of gift wrapping, from fancy wrapping to newspaper, ribbon and twine, but haven’t yet experimented with using objects like the beautiful doilies or twigs and berries in some of these examples.  It’s giving me all sorts of ideas for ways to use the overflow of fabric and materials around my apartment . . .
