Winter Window Displays

Winter Window Display 2005

I was hired to do my first window display just 2 days before it had to be completed for a Christmas party! Not a lot of time to come up with a concept, buy or create the display items, and complete the window. But with a vintage mannequin head from my personal collection, a set of feathered wings, a blue feathered boa, and crystal encrusted diva glasses, an angel... and a new design sideline were born!

Snowmen wearing eye glasses, pine trees decorated with eye glasses, little cottages and candle-lights, tin stars, star lights, sugarplums... A sweet and nostalgic winter scene all around.

Mannequin heads and a lot of "snow" and ice, became landscapes for the hundreds of miniature fir trees, fences and figurines dressed in old fashioned winter attire.

Winter Window Display 2009

It's all about the glitter in this winter window with wire and glitter trees, lighted star tree toppers and trees, small potted metallic trees and mirrored "disco ball" ornaments.

Winter Window Display 2012

Christmas trees made of over one hundred pair of children's and adults knit gloves and mittens. I think I emptied every dollar store in a five town radius!

Winter Window Display 2013

"Raise Your Glasses!" stuffed and painted opera length gloves turn into birch tree branches holding Champagne flutes and glasses. I have always thought that the black areas on birches looked like eyes, so those were drawn in with markers, and the dried lichen was glued on. I painted backdrop in my basement after hanging it from a rafter.

You can see them reused in the Spring 2015 window.
