Your favorite homemade CDR packaging

So there are some general packaging threads here and here and here, but what about homemade/small release CDR stuff in particular, and your favorite examples thereupon?

Right this second, I'd have to say something Tape Mountain (yes, the me-reads-almanac label) released, Play Guitar for You by TM main guy Jake Anderson and Minmae main guy Sean Brooks. The tinfoil/type cover seems just right when you hold it in your hand, a great little artifact.

Pants Yell! of course. Apparently, they have different covers for their second album. I've seen one with a sled. Mine has a girl and an older boy. They may be siblings. And they did the cover for Hell Train by Soltero, which is also good. The Soltero album has a small card inside with the picture from which the cover was silkscreened. I think they went or go to art school, so it makes sense.

I bought a Chaotic Evil CD-R that had a woven slip cover made from grass plucked from McCarren Park.

I was looking at a release today at Sea Level Records in Echo Park, LA from a band called "Foot Village" - the CDR comes in a small potted shrub which is kept in a 12" x 12" x 12" cardboard box with silkscreened artwork on it. Apparently the band is made up solely of 6 drummers or something like that. Have to admire it, even if I don't see myself shelling out for it...

eight months pass...

The sole cdr by Johann Wlight's "posthumous" project, Itdreamedtome, came through the door yesterday, very nice. It came in a brown cardboard sleeve enclosing a white cardboard cd sleeve sparely decorated with with collages, a cryptic fold out piece of tan-coloured paper and a square of white hessian-type material, tied up with string. Very minimal, but beautiful.

Notes: Housed in a pasta cardboard box, along with rotten overcooked pasta and various trash. The pasta box is covered with mould and smells awful. The record itself comes wrapped in metal foil.
