the window display “in the making”, part two: sketching…
Posted in amsterdam: made by hand, behind the scenes May 28th, 2010 by pia

My trusty calculator – so very important for dimensions. For those of you with young kids, can you pass on this important message from me: “Remember kids, if you want to be creative when you grow up, make sure you study math at school, it really does come in handy later, I promise you.”

Royal Buffet’s papillon tags fluttering about. What else can you see?

Okay sketches done, notes taken,  I’m off to buy the supplies now…

    Wow looks promising. I wish my workspace looks that organizing while I am at work. I really like these ‘procesreports’.

    Morning Pia,

    Your window is going to be brilliant by the looks of things, thanks for sharing.

    I thought of you and how much I want to visit Holland as I met a wonderful Dutch lady at the airport in Faro this week. She was travelling home to Rotterdam with her 5 month old black labrador who was simply beautiful, they both were. Serendipity.
