Working on the display.

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009


We’ve got a few craft shows lined up for this fall (stay tuned for details!) and so I’ve been thinking, how can I display my stuff in a cohesive way, considering I’ve got lots of different kinds of items – cards, knit cufflets, snap pouches, prints, etc…
I decided on using wooden display props. I may paint them all purple, I’m not sure yet. But I thought up a design for a prop on which I could hang some of my pouches and other sewn items (if I manage to make any before the shows!). I drew out the design and then gave it to my Dad, who, I swear, can make just about anything. He built it in California and sent it over. I designed it as being collapsible, not only for shipping, but for taking to shows. Much easier if I can break it down and schlep it around when it’s flat.
Here it is right out of the box:

Kind of like this:
