Make’n’Do

This started as a Christmas workshop, for people to make their own unique cards and wrapping paper — but it can be adapted to many situations.

A delightful pile of silly junk, toy ephemera, bits, bobs and baloney is surrounded by white trays. Participants grab a tray and use their selection from the pile to make a little collage.

This is scanned into our system, and then they can select from a whole range of effects to multiply and prettify the image. From the results we can print out cards, tags, and even small pillow boxes for gifts.

The same principle could be used for large scale projections, T-shirts, posters, or even frames of a stop-motion film.
