Task #54 (December 15th - 21st): Gift paper

I love wrapping gifts!

I have a whole set with my packages!

Most of my own are reusable (by the receiver). I also try to reuse the packages I receive, either for packaging or as material for my handcrafts.

These are the papers I used as backgrounds for the 365 Days in Colour group during this month of rust and black. It was a hard month to do. Not necessarily because of finding objects that fit the two color choices, but because it was so cold that it was hard to get outside and find objects to photograph. This month's photos were done almost entirely indoors. Here's hoping that March is a little warmer.

In case there is any question on who had such unique wrapping skills.

Chicago Printed String Company dates its origins back to 1898 to a company founded by Aron Weiner outside Prague in what is now the Czech Republic. The business made cotton bands that surrounded hats. Weiner moved to Chicago in 1912 – 1913 and founded Chicago Printed String in 1915. Its business was now advertising tape: cotton yarn imprinted with a company name used for binding, which it called Print-Ad-String. RIBBONETTE featured material comparable to silk and satin ribbons. The company moved to what became 65,000 square feet of space at 2300 W. Logan Blvd. in 1929. By 1960, it was reported the company produced 600 million yards of decorative ribbons and 210,000 reams of wrapping paper. To show its diversification, the company changed its name to CPS Industries in 1965. Shortly thereafter, it moved its production facilities to Tennessee and, two years later, was sold to Papercraft Corporation. Faced with the wrecker’s ball, the building was saved in 2004 and currently houses a fitness center.

This is a sample of a kaleidoscope tessellation requested by, and created for, a friend (Gina) I met here on Flickr. She makes candy wrappers, gift wrap, bookmarks, etc., but her site is no longer online, so I'm not sure where to get her products any longer.

Only sample tiles are available for viewing since I used her original picture instead of one of my own or one from Flickr with a CC license.

This is the stash of presents (minus two - see note) that our daughter got for her 5th birthday today. That CARS snack tray was a big hit and now she can't wait to have a "picnic snack" on the floor in the family room.
