More Oldies

I had to combine two photos to get the full height here; it was more than 6' tall from the table top. A "birdcage" constructed of bamboo and raffia.

My "stack-o-baskets"

The stack-o-baskets again. I asked the firm for some templates, etc. and used them in all their centerpieces. That was a big hit. I used it a third time for a party at a company that makes fire extinguishers, and it disappeared after the party. I can't imagine what they were going to do with it, since the baskets were all wired and glued together.

I wasn't going to do this, but the woman I was at the convention with grabbed my elbow and raised my arm up when they asked for volunteers. I was glad she did. They placed various props and fabrics in the floor of the lobby and we had to choose (grab) quickly what we wanted to use. For the theme "A Different Rhythm", I used brass trumpets with gold curly willow, to signify the sound waves coming out of the horns. The windows were about 5' tall and less than 3 ' wide, I think, and only deep enough to place a movie placard (about 4-5"), if I remember correctly. It was a fun exercise. Mine was more restrained than most, and I didn't win.
