Pink Winter

Oh wow I can't believe I haven't posted in half a year...my bad >< I'll try to post more if school permits *crosses fingers*

My first big assignment this semester for my decorating course was to do a window display for a Salvation Army store. We got to pick the theme, the materials we wanted and we finally got to physically work on a project. It was very exciting going into this cause we've never done window displays and it gave us a glimpse of the real world and how we had to go on-site to check out the store, pick up items we may use for the window, communicating with the manager and the floor staff. My favourite part was actually putting our window together since up until now all our assignments were just drawings, and everything was done on paper, so being able to physically put something together was very new and fun. It was especially fun for me since I absolutely love doing hands on things and putting a bunch of stuff together to create a unified display.

My partner, Sarah and I decided to go for a winter and valentine theme to go with the current season, took us shorter than expected to put together and I think it came out pretty well. It took us less time than we had expected and the manager of the store seemed pretty pleased with our work :)

Here's a glimpse of what the window looks like:
