Mixtape 3

We were very lucky again this month, and received a wonderful mixtape lovingly created by illustrator Kerry Hyndman love the music on it, some of our favourite artists on there, and spotted the artwork on flickr and adored it before I realised it was coming to us!



and here are some images of the one we sent her









Again I had great fun doing it! Might well make people some mixtapes for Christmas :)

Second mixtape received!

In return for the mixtape we sent out we got this one back from Steven Silverwood. The artwork is amazing, and a very original choice of theme! See more of his work here

Mixtape numero duo!

We sent off our second mixtape for the mixtape project http://sharingthemusic.wordpress.com/ It was great fun to do!

Me and Joe had decided while doing last months that due to the great amount of awesome covers songs we had this month would be a CD dedicated to the little blitters!

I had great fun producing the artwork, as I had wanted to do some paper cut work for a while, so this was a brilliant excuse!

Ours has just arrived in the post today, but I know Joe won't be happy if I open it when he's not here, so something to look forward to when I get in tonight!

Amazing mixtape

A few pics of the amazing mixtape that me and Joe got sent as part of the mixtape project.

We had started to get worried that we wouldn't be receiving one, and then got very excited when an interesting envelope arrived on our door mat yesterday morning. This is the work of Sergio F Gallardo and Barbara Ana Gomez Isn't it great!? Loving the 50's adverts, and it has a great selection of music on it too. A lot of time and thought has gone into this one. Thanks guys!

Our first Mixtape!

You may have seen me mention this before, but the mixtape project is a simple, but fantastic idea. Basically you sign up to the project (more info here) and once a month you are given a name and address for the person you need to send your mixtape to, and someone gets your address and sends you one. When I say mixtape I of course mean CD. You can pick any type of music and pick any theme for your selection, then as an added bonus you get to design and make artwork for it! To see some of the lovely artwork created by people involved in the project click here 

Above is the first one that my husband and I have created, (the project is in it's third month). We picked the music together and I created the artwork. I tried to make it look like a mini record. We already have plans for our next one, and can't wait to receive ours in the post! Expect another post about that one!
