I really enjoy making mix-cds. They're a great gift, and are fun to put together. When I make one, I try to think about what music the person may know, and then combine that with things that I really like, and would like to share with them. Then play around with the 'flow' until I've got a winner.
Then comes the decorating, which I love. Lately, I've been using National Geographic magazines for the front and back covers. I also try and decorate the disc, either by drawing on it, or gluing a picture on top. To name it, I pick a lyric from one of the songs on the cd.
This is the last cd I made, for Ashleigh. I think it may be the best I've yet made.
I'd love to make you a mix CD. I just need your address. You can email it to me if you'd like: staceteague@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I got the same type of gift for my birthday from a friend of mine. She used prints of pictures that she used in her music video. It had tigers and bunnies and foliage.
ReplyDeleteI think those are the best kinds of gift, handmade from the heart.
how'd you do the cool colours on the disc?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Anonymous - it's a plain white disc (which is good to draw on), and I put it in my discman, open the lid, and used felt tip pens
