Preloved to Reloved - Type Construction

A project in my typography class is to experiment with type. With many of my more recent school projects I have decided to include an element of sustainability and this project is no different.

I chose the words "preloved" and "reloved" as I have used them to describe my products made with awesome materials that were originally wanted but nearly ended up in the trash. I want to create a more labor intensive deliverable to push the idea as a "labor of love" project and chose the final pieces to be embroidered.

Each letter will be handdrawn and transcribed with thread.

Here is my process:

All materials used were purchased "preloved" at ScrapPDX.

Sewing needles
Needle thread
Scissors
Hoop
Thread
Material

I had no previous experience with embroidery

Get Organized

Being a design student, a mom, business owner, and employee I needed to create a way to organize my life. I'm pretty sure I have all of the apps that are out there (and still use them when necessary) but nothing beats putting that pen to paper and checking off boxes to feel a sense of completion.

If I have separate notebooks for each class and I leave them at home (because it can become rather bulky) I may lose out on valuable study time if I happen to have a few extra minutes. So, I came up with this system to organize current projects/assignments using school/office supplies:
