Someone Else’s Wedding Band – CD Booklet

So I found all this paper that was being shipping in the form of padding for other things. This paper and card would have simply been thrown away, or recycled*. Instead I hoarded it all until I had enough to start printing.
SEWB CDs are all a bit different. The make up of the band is different, and the output should suit this. Deciding not to actually make physical CDs this time around, a download code will be found in the back of the booklets.
Each page is hand printed, hand folded, hand cut and hand stapled. An edition of 100 only (as I want the screens for something else**) these are a treasure to hold and delicate enough to have you not spilling your beer on it.

*PLEASE NOTE: In this instance, the term recycled is a little devious, as the recycling and the rubbish go into the same bin and compacted into a solid cube. Go figure.
**keep your eyes peeled for madness!

Taste of Real Living – Life Extender

The built-in obsolescence of objects needs to be challenged if we are to survive and be surrounded by waste in years to come.
There are some objects we give names that were not originally intended, or in some cases find new uses and personalities in them. By naming an object, do we lay claim to it and in turn consider attempting to fix it when it is broken, or refuse to upgrade when what we have works perfectly fine.
If you have an object that you have named and kept with you longer than intended, use the hash tag #tasteofrealliving
To help take part, take a photo of an everyday object you have personally named (car, toaster, bike, hat, delay pedal, etc.)
in the caption add and #tasteofrealliving
