Christmas Fairy In The Window

We all love the Winter White Snowflake Window for the festive season.

.

Khrystal The Fairy is sat on her moon inviting customers, angels and 

other fairies into the studio.

I made the Moon out of sheeting, scraps of lace, net curtains, sheer, clothing.

It is heavily embroidered and beaded and sprinkled with sparkle.

More has been added over the weeks in the window.

Khrystal The Fairy was added afterwards and the frothy lace is all in the studio shop window.

Jenn modelled with Khrystal when she visited the studio.

Here are some other Fairies we have had in the studio.

Lisa made this fairy who sat next to the giant cakes on the sofa.

So sedate:))))

Gill Tiara and Wand pretending to be a Fairy!!!!!

Seaside Holiday Window Display

Augusts Seaside and Holiday theme has been well received by 

customers, visitors and window viewers.

The backdrop was a quilt I did many years ago for Uni and has 

plastic which protected the conservatory window panels!

It was the right shade of blue!

Jo's Beach hut cushion hints to her wonderful Exhibition

inside the studio, there are cards and prints available too!

Jellyfish made with victorian glass bowls, celery vases, plastic and 

iridescent thread.

Cheryl made the freeform crochet and Jack made the

paper coral. 

Jill who is a resident artist and tutor in the studio

made the paper boat.

Mr Robin looks on peering inside the 

'Shades of Blue Nest'. 

While the mannequin guys are having fun.

September's window celebrates The Swaffham Food Festival 

and Autumn.

Enchanted Nest For The Window

 

It's fun every month sorting out the window display and we have

had so much support and encouragement from visitors and passers by.
 We are"making stories"in our window.

They are becoming real Diorama's.
They depict the studio 'Inspiration of the Month'
and evoke the change within the studio with displays
and Exhibitions.

The Enchanted nest was one of three which we have made for the
window to continue the story of our Robin.
it contains a Golden Egg, far to big for a robin!
He had his nest inside a gilded cage.
You had to open the door for him to be able to go in!

Each month a little boy and his Nan look for the
Robin and his nest in the new window display.
This months inspiration is 'The Sea and Holidays'
so, here is the Robin looking into
his nest inside a rather sea worn nest.

A you can see we are having far to much fun making displays:))

I think the nest is a symbol that we are all quite happy in our

new studio home.

Thank you to Ellen for the beautiful photos.
