Making Models

I am now working on creating a display that would house the antique necklace. I decided that I want the store that this would go in to be a vintage store so that I can display many different vintage pieces.  My idea for the display goes back to my idea of stacking suitcases.  The suitcases would be all different shapes and sizes and piled up in a very haphazard way.  As I continue to make models the idea is developing and I am hoping to incorporate a table to this display so that people could try on the jewelry as well as some drawers for storage. 

Creating a Display

INSPIRATION

"First Class Luggage"

My final package incorporated everything that I had set out to achieve with this project. I was lucky to find a paper that resembled animal skin, which I used to cover the luggage and I found a beautiful brown leather to use for the handle and the strap. Ultimately I wanted my package to look and feel like a piece of vintage luggage.  The final touch was the luggage tag. After looking at countless photos of vintage luggage I felt it was necessary to include a luggage tag, and this aspect made the package feel like it really belonged to a person and was a connection to the past.
