Sidewalk sales, cont.

OK - hello again!

Got 'em. Pictures. The important things!



First day, Wilmette in the morning.Then finished off the Tuscan one Saturday morning, and started the Rainforest one, here. Finished The Rainforest one & started ...
Blue/green kind of lush forest place with a gazebo/temple structure left middle ground. Not finished yet - save it for another Performing Monkey event.

See - we set up with this nice big old easel, faux finish sample boards on displays, others stacked on a picture rack, albums, all the promo paraphernalia. I do the Performing Monkey thing, people stop for a bit, Debby nabs them & shows them our other stuff & everyone gets all excited & starts thinking of all the cool things that can be done with paint & goop.



Here's an in-action shot during the Winnetka Sidewalk sale. Rustic Kitchen with Ham. Finished product back home ...



These 'movable murals' are painted on a light canvas or Rocklon cloth. We then cut the cloth to the desired window  (nice neat edges) & have this clever gadget which we heat up adhesive wax in & apply it to the back.  This leaves us with a kind of giant post-it note window mural. We did one for the Wilmette Chamber ...
Before

One down.

Ta-daa! 

New window in a windowless office.  So very cool!
