This is what Jess and I have been up to for the past few days, and it’s starting to look pretty sweet. Thanks to Alex for helping us with the laser cutter until midnight on Cinco de Mayo. Lots of blood, sweat, and cursing have gone into the project thus far. Oh, and I owe Jess for the mad skills went into actually putting these things together.

update: apparently i spelled earrings wrong. wah-wah

This is an idea that originated from my friend Jessica, I’m pretty sure on one of her 4 hour drives back to the burg from Northern VA. She calls me up, but I don’t answer my phone*, so she leaves this crazy message about all the ideas she had been thinking about. One of them was this: to make & symbol earings. I had to get in on the action so I followed up with a set of @’s.

I’m hoping once classes are over we’ll have some time -and motivation- for our personal projects. This is definitely on the top of my list, and to quote myself because I’m just-so-amusing** “the fact is, we have a laser.”

Here’s the initial design stage, full cred to Jessica for the business cards and choosing of & symbol fontage***. Jessica’s Portfolio
