Well... it turned out really, really bad 😵
There were cracks everywhere, and it looked so rough.

At that time, I didn’t even know why it went so wrong, like a total disaster.
I’d spent so much time on it, but, well... it looks like I need to redo everything.

So, half a year later, I decided to start over and make it perfect.

After consulting a professor who’s practically a guru in hand-made packaging and prototypes, I discovered my big mistake: using the wrong material.
Paper clay, as it turns out, is a no-go.

So I peeled off all the paper clay covering and began the new version.


Peeled off all the paper clay covering





New Packaging Prototyping Process:
 

Surface covered with sculpt clay.
Worked at the school lab for many weeks at that time.

Kept sanding and sanding and sanding.


The appearance looked good! (maybe

Sprayed with primer to see if it was smooth.




Covered small scratches with putty.
Also covered some problems with sculpt clay.
Kept sanding.













Filling and polishing
cracks and scratches
back and forth,
back and forth,
back and forth.


Sprayed Metallic Paint. Finally!!!



Exhibited at Pratt Show







Special thanks to Professor Eric O'Toole for his invaluable mentorship in helping me redo this packaging and
teaching me to operate nearly all of the school's lab equipment!
