Sustainable NYC Window
So in March a colleague of mine approached me about doing a window display for Sustainable NYC, a lovely eco-boutique on Avenue A. On April 23rd, it was unveiled:
Basically, we decided to crochet flowers out of plastic bags and attach them to motors hooked up to little solar panels. In the morning, when sunshine falls on the panels, the flowers spin around. If you block them with your shadow, they stop.
Many people have been asking about purchasing the flowers, and I’m making some more and putting pins on them. The ones in the window were made by me and an amazing crew of volunteers. The window display itself was made and installed with the indispensable help of Desiree Lee.
I’m looking at some other patterns and will be making more flowers in the coming months. Maybe this will even develop into something TuraLura? Stay tuned…
