31 bits…

31 BITS TRUNK SHOW
JEWELRY MADE ENTIRELY OF PAPER
JUNE 24 & 25

My back hurts!

This is always a good sign of cre­ativ­ity! I have been on the floor for hours cre­at­ing a sign for the 31 Bits win­dow dis­play. Although my back hates the idea I love the process and the end result. I made a dou­ble sided sign from two sheets of plex­i­glass. Since the sign would be hang­ing in the win­dow we had to think of how it could work for the win­dow dis­play  AND the kitchen sec­tion inside the store. So on one side I decoupaged recipes from Martha Stewart’s Everyday Recipe mag­a­zine and painted in bold let­ters EAT to be dis­played in the kitchen sec­tion. The other side I cut out 31 bits from card­board, painted them fus­cia and glued shred­ded mag­a­zine pages around them. One plex­i­glass on top of the other with clear duct tape around the edges so noth­ing falls out and…DONE!

DOUBLE-SIDED SIGN!
