Wood and paper laser-cut ginkgo leaves were sent to the store and treated in-house. Some were painted, others were given a dye treatment, and others were coated in copper tape and copper leaf. The leaves were taped to the window glass using copper conductive tape. The placement was organized to frame the mannequins with the bold yellow color, then transition into oranges, browns, and coppers as the ginkgo leaves dissipated across the window scape.

The wood letters were sent to the store pre-cut, but painted in-house. They were initially attached directly into the wall, but were later made into a plaque, as seen above.
An art wall was painted to enhance the general ambiance of the store, and was used as a backdrop for the Mother's Day fashion show. The smaller bees were created from prints sent by the company - they were cut out and glued together to make them 3D. The larger, more detailed bees were hand-made from crepe paper and wire. *** Winter 2019 Update *** The reeds were moved to the center of the store and reduced in size, then were trimmed with paper-pulp bells and holiday berries. Cardboard tubes were painted white for a clean, neutral look. The tubes were then treated with layers of joint compound and perlite to create texture. The textured tips were dipped in gold paint for an elegant finish. To create the suspended blooms, egg cartons were painted and vellum sheets were dyed in corresponding colors. The cartons were cut into flowers and the vellum paper was die-cut into circles which became cones. All were strung up with monofilament. The previous "Frozen Nature" display was used as the base for Suspended Blooms. The holiday greenery was removed from the plexiglass rods, which were then painted to transform the icicle look into flower stems. The home pantry department got a spring update to reflect a lush greenhouse. Paper leaves of various varieties were added to the wall and cabinets, accented by vintage windows. The greenhouse leaves also carried over to the front of store wall, and were later added to the front platform for a dramatic effect. The greenhouse concept was relocated and additional leaves were applied to a hutch to add dimension in the space. The paper leaves were sent pre-cut, but were hand dyed and wired in-house. Each type of leaf received a unique, multi-step dye treatment. The flower stems were created by wrapping crepe paper around hanging wire. Flower buds were molded from styrofoam and crepe paper. Crepe paper petals were folded and spray painted, then stretched and molded into flowers.
The birds were temporarily hung in the front of store as an entry piece, and were later moved to watch over the accessories department. The birds were later transitioned into a wall-based display. The tropical leaves were created by dying sheets of vellum paper and allowing the dye to pool to create a unique pattern. The leaves were then cut and wired to the bird's hoops. The bodies of the birds were formed from tissue and tape, then covered in hand-cut, painted, and stamped leaves. Once the birds were covered, they were fixed to the leaves for extra security. |
