Paint Tubes Gift Wrap, Gift Tag & Greeting Card - © Rachel Goodchild 2007
|
I love it when one of my designs remains popular and stays on my top sellers list for years. Paint Tubes is one of these designs. In 2006 I took a series of photographs inside my father's studio and came up with the Artist Range, a series of 4 photography cards and one gift wrap with gift tag which was 'Paint Tubes.' I launched Paint Tubes in 2007 and it still remains today one of my top sellers. Due to the continued success of this design I have also recently designed a Paint tubes journal.

The inspiration for the Paint Tubes gift wrap was the inside of my father's paint draws. I moved nothing before photographing. Some of the draws were organised and some not. I particularly loved the grubbiness of the tubes as they showed paint tubes in use.
