Resurgam - A Mix for Dustin

Remember that mix I was working on earlier?
 
Epic mix project: Completed.
 

See that there? That's right. It's a flash drive hidden in a hollowed out book.

 
I made a giant mess.
 


I took a copy of Jane Eyre and followed the directions here to seal the pages. After that was done, I cut away the pages so the flash drive containing the precious mix could sit comfortably inside Chapter 1. Library cards and pockets were ordered from The School Locker. The pocket was glued to the inside front cover and I typed the track list on the card... Finished it off with some yarn and a tag and voila. Done.

This was one of the most fun mix projects I've done - I confess I stole the idea from my band mate Ryan, who proposed to my best friend Jess by hollowing out a journal and putting the engagement ring in it... I was trying to think of other ways to transfer music files other than just a plain old CD and I figured for a special project, a flash drive was the perfect thing. If you buy a bunch of them at once, it's less expensive and if you're a hard core mixer, it opens up a whole new realm of possibilities as far as doing artwork and such.

So yeah. He seemed to like it, so I'll count this one a success.
