A couple of years ago I decided to use a different kind of portfolio for a while, so I got a first aid box, and I mounted all the prints on foam board, and had them as little charts inside the box. I was pretty happy with the result, but I think that if I am going to make a new portfolio again, I want to try a different idea. I thought about making my next portfolio like a family photo album or a cabinet of curiosities, but it is a hard line between making something just because it is fun and it is a hobby, and making something you can show clients and employers. If you have seen any creative portfolios around, I would love to see them. I am not planning on making a new one any time soon, but I really want to stock up on ideas for later.

These were in my windowsill in my old apartment, and even though they are completely useless, I still liked looking over at them every now and again. I am very bad at keeping anything without a practical purpose (I feel a huge urge to dispose of anything that I can not utilize), but I was always very good at making things without a practical purpose.

I am not sure I mentioned it or not, but I made a page here on the blog for some of the various handmade things I have made over the past couple of years, you can find it here: http://sushibird.com/handmade/
