Window inspiration....



Every time I do a new window display, I get asked what inspires me. Today I would like to shine a light on of my biggest inspirations, and her name is Corrina!
Corrina has a shop on Etsy.com, her seller name is Piddx, and she sells some of THE most amazing images you could ever hope to find. I have to admit I originally started buying her collage sheets for jewelry making purposes, but the images were so fantastic I decided to use them in advertising and window displays for the store! The "mod" circles in the first two pictures are from a collage sheet of forty-eight individual one inch mod flower circles. I just picked one, re-sized it printed a ba-zillion (it's a real number you know) of them out , cut and ta-da! Mod flower wall decor!



(Mod Spring Flower #612)



My latest window display was created entirely around the Koi fish from Corrina's Japanese Koi Fish #321! Summer is coming and we've been blessed with these beautiful warm sunny days, I wanted to do a window to show that, in a quirky sort of way. I was browsing the Piddx store and there they were... a sheet of eight different Koi fish!




Now I must say this... I tend to do things the difficult way...always have. If I need to get the mail from the mailbox in front of my house, I'll go out the back door, down the alley and around the block! I blew these fish up in size, cut them out individually, they are two sided so I cut two per fish and then glued them together! I took me about two weeks to cut and glue them together. I'm sure there is a much easier way to have accomplished this , but..... that just wouldn't be me! Anyway! the fish turned out so well that I made some for the lady next door for her to hang up in her twin grandsons bedroom!
GO CHECK PIDDX OUT
