This week I took my ideas to show Catherine and explained what my vision was for the shop window.
After a long discussion we finally refined both of our ideas and came to idea that we both agreed on.
The final idea is to use the idea of airmail envelopes with the red and blue border as a frame to be painted around the window front. The display will still contain a tree as part of it, the tree will be made from dried twigs and branches that will be painted white with spray paint. The tree will be placed in a large plastic plant pot that will also be sprayed white. The tree will be decorated with airmail envelopes hand made fabric hearts and jewellery and gifts that are sold in Hepwrights. The idea of hanging gifts and jewellery in the tree is so that it can catch the eye of passers by showing that the shop does not just sell vintage clothes but also things that are perfect to give as Valentines day gifts.
As well as the tree the display will also contain two mannequins one male and one female. We decided that two mannequins would not only fill the window up and help show more of what the shop has to offer but also to help translate a story of what the window was all about.
The story behind the window is meant to show a couple reunited after a time apart the tree with airmail envelopes showing there way of keeping in contact.
The next step of my FMP is to gather materials to make the props for my window and get making all for the installation of my window next week.
