Description
My project is based on a collection of Keepsake Boxes I am currently working on. The collection is inspired by Mr Vore and his love for animals. I am in the early stages of creating a collection with four character dogs. Dalmatian named Dalmatian is fictional. The other three are Bboy my dog and Popsicle and Karma a couple of friends and followers on Facebook. I have started generating excitement by sharing short silly stories about the dogs and their adventures. It is starting to generate some excitement and curiosity. I have figured out a way to put these dogs onto a box. I collaborate with a local artist. I design the images and she prints onto rice paper. I then apply to the box.
The collection will have one size box starting at $50. This is a basic box with standard hardware. Anything additional is $10 up to $25. Each of the character dogs boxes will include a small metal fleur di lis on the back between the two hinges. By generating excitement is then start getting the word out I can put any image of anything onto a box. My ultimate for dog boxes is to get into a place that cremates animals offering the most personalized box possible by making a box with a photo. I will utilize the audience I have encouraging them to share, like, comment, and purchase. I will generate a new audience by continuing to post daily and joining animal lover groups etc. The timeliness is all of 2026.
