Slug & Jiggers + Potages were completed with the connecting signage, and false door (which was made out of scrap plywood, trim, and a spare door knob). Once complete, we moved onto the Owl Post!
Owl Post
The Owl Post window is a half-round window display, fashioned after the windows in the WW. We used the same dowel base, but taller to accommodate our needed window height.
Our packages are a mix of kraft paper wrapped empty boxes and LitJoy crate boxes for the color and design pop to keep the window dynamic. We are continuing to add packages, but have at least set up a base of colorful post.
We also needed to add a feature to the display to give a focal point that wasn’t just wrapped packages. I was able to find an inexpensive wall-mounted resin owl, which I spray painted metallic. I added small magnets to the feet to allow me to attach interchangeable messages.
The message was printed on large format paper, and wrapped around a recycled paper towel roll for the scroll effect. I added a scrap of ribbon and a wax seal to the bottom for a little fancy (and to add weight to keep it from curling up).
Once we completed the construction of the Owl Post side of this display, we turned our focus onto the backside… my personal favorite window in the alley… Spindlewarps!
Construction is in progress, and will be shared in the next post.
