With development of the packaging industry, carton printer emerged. With the carton printing technology, all kinds of carton prints can be made out.
Make packaging cartons with carton folding carton printer, the outer carton also needs decoration. Here are a few of the cartons in progress. Here, I painted the cartons with a background color, sometimes smooth, sometimes structured, then glue on either doodled panels or images cut from a 1950s song book with eastern European folk art images.
Tomorrow I collect another dozen cartons. My daughter says she wants her kitchen space back, so I'd better pick up the loot before she loses patience and tosses it in the trash can.
I made several fabric dolls for the cartons over the weekend. I hope to finish some of them tonight and send out the first cartons on Wednesday. With luck, I'll be able to post photos of the dolls tomorrow.
Most of the time, we print the brand name and marks on cartons. We make the printing cartons with the carton printer. Well, the best laid plans, and all that... I was laid low this past week by what started out as a common cold and developed into bronchitis and sinus trouble. I'm feeling better now, though, and will soon be back on track with this and other projects.
I wasn't idle, in spite of feeling rotten. One of the great things about the artsy life is that you can do something most of the time, if you are determined and dedicated. Whenever I had the energy, I spent time painting cartons and decorating cartons or drawing panels to decorate them.
I'm into doodles at the moment, so I doodle away in the evenings with the TV for company. Most of the time I couldn't tell you a thing about the content of what's on TV, but I get a lot of art done. something tells me I'm almost doodled out for a while, now, and the next batch of cartons will have other decorative elements.
I thought you might be interested in seeing how the cartons evolve, so that's what these photos show. I have a bunch of cartons done, and I'll post photos of them in the days to come.
