Easter Windows

So yes I'm a few days late in posting this, but I wanted to put up photos or our recent windows at the Paris Market! Its amazing to me that I get to play with branches (possibly my favorite pastime ever) as a part of my job. Dreams do come true. The flower filled Easter egg is my my incredible cohort Shelby (who is a genius at all things giant and paper-mache). We went out and collected a bunch of vines and sticks that I wove into the giant nest as well as draped and twisted all throughout the other window. Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

(Thanks to this lovely lady for the great photos!)

Fresh flowers are on their way!

There really are few things I get as excited about.I love flowers and greenery and getting to help pick out the wonderful fresh blooms that we will have for sale at the Paris Market next week for Valentines Day is the best. Getting to paint a sign to promote it in our window-even better!

                            (The incredible paper flowers are by the talented Shelby Massey).

Christmas Windows.

This years Christmas windows at the Paris Market! I really enjoyed painting the holiday garland border and the backdrop portraits for our cozy cabin scenes.

The Busy Season.

I guess its because its the pre-holiday season, but things have been out-of-control busy lately. My justification in letting it get almost out of hand is that I will be taking month of to spend with my family for Christmas! I'd rather work now and play later. And also, I enjoy my work so its a mostly win-win. Ive been doing a lot of styling and displaying lately. Heres a sketch of one of our Thanksgiving window from last year! Pictures of the new ones coming soon..

Window Display: Potting Shed

One of my other creative loves is getting to work as visual merchandising for this store that I love. I'm trying to go back through the windows I've created and document them as illustrations. You can see photos of the real thing here!

Christmas windows!

So much work went in to these ! I am so please to post the images of the Christmastime windows I created for The Paris Market. Hopefully some better photos soon. Happy holiday season!

Window Work

Some of the more recent windows at work (the Paris Market)! Breast cancer awareness, and a cozy little pumpkin house for fall! The pumpkin itself was made out of papermache and cardboard by the amazingly talented Shelby and the little critters were made by me.

Printemps

I loove getting to paint the windows at the amazing Paris Market for different seasons! This time it was a little celebration of spring... (look for their new website launching next week!)

Autumn at the Paris Market

There was all sorts of fun for Halloween at the beautiful Paris Market this year! Some of my crazy little characters spent the holiday running scared down the Whitaker street side. And now its a busy time with Christmas fun!
