Packed Up!
I recently completed a trunk for a camper who will be attending her first summer camp this July.
Summer camp has always been a fascination of mine,with all the products and gear available for the duration of the trip.
In my youth, the idea of food in freeze dried packaging was introduced and much anticipated in campers young and seasoned. The idea of eating ice cream from a package in round shapes,was intriguing to say the least!
Today, it is still enjoyable to gear up my little camper for his fun in the sun and gather all the must have items.
Which brings me to the latest summer inspired project.
Though familiar with this camp, the area of Hunt Texas is where camp Waldemar
is located and has been in operation since 1926. I was given a hot pink trunk, which will be filled to the gills with camper gear, enough to last the duration of an 11 year old girl's summer session of camp.
I decided to go with a vintage / modern campy themed trunk.
Of which more tribe related imagery will be added at a later date when ones tribe is drawn into and the camper becomes part of one of the three tribes for life.Much anticipation was expected, planned and finally delivered this past week with an OK and was loaded and shipped to Waldemar.
Good luck girl!!
The trunk was drawn in a vintage themed and campy inspired motif with a twist of modern wallflower, peace signs and girlie hues. The result is a fun, girl powered femme luggage piece that will "fit" into the life of a summer camper. A custom one of a kind piece of luggage, inspired by vintage steamer trunks and a little modern pumped up panache!
The after, with room left on the sides for adding more specific tribal insignia after camp is completed and the tribe has been drawn for this lil camper.
Anyone have the smores??
I am feeling campy with this project.
