SP13 window dressing

modern macrame.

i created this window installation with three very basic and mundane materials... all purchased at ACE Hardware. 

1. cotton rope
2. cotton industrial mop heads
3. industrial neon spray paint
+ hands

i have been styling the front windows of Parts + Labour boutique in Hood River, Oregon for almost 5 years.  i install a new window each season. 

this is my installation for SP2013. 

special thanks to my 11 year old daughter www.helloayvalevin.blogspot.com  for helping me knot rope and showing me the ropes... on basic macrame knots!
