MATURE FRUIT/GROWING SEASON HANDMADE PACKAGING

Totally completed.
Finished a couple weeks ago or so,
but I was waiting for the holiday to end
to mail out about a dozen.
And waiting on some email replies
as well.

A couple weekends ago,
I picked my personal favorites
and took them on their very own photo shoot
in the leaves
in my backyard.

Now I need to get my ass in gear,
address all the boxes
and visit the post office.

Version numbers and names by photo:

Chicken Pox: 1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15

Sparrow's Egg: 4, 5, 6, 16, 17, 18

Dry Pickles: 22, 23 

Wavy Dirt: 7 , 8, 9

CD PACKAGING PROCESS

Finished constructing 
18 out of 24.

Need to pick 
more leaves 
to tie to the outside cover.

In the process of
making a list 
of who I would like to 
mail these to.

CD PACKAGING

I am in the process 

of printing a cutting 

CD sleeves 

for two of my releases.

These sleeves then go into 

their own sleeve 

of cover paper 

from a collection of paper 

that I have had laying in a box 

from school.

When I get further along 

I will take more photos of 

the finished product.

I'M YOUR DREAMS

Filled the one minute gap
at the beginning of
'I'm Your Dreams'.

Thought this was very necessary
if I am releasing a tape,
so someone won't miss
one of the best songs
on 'Mature Fruit.'

GROWING SEASON

The Growing Season is the period of each year when native plants and ornamental plants grow; and when crops can be grown.

This is a companion piece
to my earlier release
Mature Fruit.

These songs combine my
childlike rhythm
and soothing guitar play.

I soon will be selling this
as a double EP on
cassette and CD.

This collection of songs was recorded
during the months of
April through July, 2010.

01. Upright 1:15
02. Pretzels & Vegetables 4:14
