New simplified abstract cardboard pieces I made for shipping out paintings.
I’m sticking with 2 colors, and quick, easy knife strokes.

I like these new pieces, but I’m starting to think it’s time to scratch the whole DIY packaging idea. Idk how much longer I’m going to keep making them. My studio space is being overrun with them. I have to leave them spread out on my table to dry, which means I have no room to work. That, plus I’m still spending too much time, and effort on something that could potentially be thrown in the garbage after the paintings are unwrapped. I’m questioning whether all this extra work is worth it, and after what happened last weekend, the answer that I keep coming back to is no. 

Maybe it’s fatigue talking to me, and through me right now because I’ve made almost 100 of these over the past few days. I’m sooooo burnt out, and the thought of having to create even one more is making me cringe. Soo, it might be back to plain boring cardboard packaging for me. Idk..I’ll think about it, and decide in a week or so. 

Have a lovely weekend. xo
