Brand new me

portfolio

I’ve finally put the finishing touches on my portfolio. The custom sleeve and business cards are the latest addition. After taking a couple of sewing classes I was able to put together this nice little denim sleeve with patterned lining and heavy duty metal zipper. I decided that it would be interesting if I used the same patterned fabric on the back of my business cards, they look and feel great. The book itself is an off-the-shelf aluminum screwpost portfolio. I added cherry veneer to the outside and inside and stained it with a teak coloured finish. After many layers of matte varnish, it was done.
