This summer display featured an 8 foot octopus created from iridescent cellophane and ribbons, hundreds of hand-cut iridescent paper fish, actual coral, a large fish I created covered with netting to display glasses etc. It also had a handwritten scroll asking: "Did you know an octopus had 24 eyes... the inspiration for this optician's window.

Summer Window Display 2012

"All the Buoys and Gulls love summer!" With buoys collected after washing up on the beach at my family cottage, a flock of feathered seagulls, and opalescent cellophane to create the surface of the water, this window set a summery mood. A treasure chest with boxed gift-certificate, lots of shells, schools of fish, and "messages-in-bottles" complete the scene.

"Use your Noodle, wear UV Protected Sunglasses! For this window I cut up, then reconstructed, water noodles to create characters who stand up in similarly colored pails with shovels.
