Cork me

A new window display, a new deadline, and a new challenging task. This time around, its all about the corks. We contacted neighboring wine bars, wineries, and grocery stores asking them to save the used wine corks for our " new and awesome window display". Astonishingly, the total amount collected was 48,000 corks. YES, 48,000. Bags upon bags of corks were piled in the studio, and just like the clothes pins; we had to paint them.. individually. 3 shades of green, a blue, two 5 hour days, 3 interns, and a sea of colorful corks was created. 

Did you know that theres artist that specialize in corks? cause i didnt. A "Cork Artist" came into the studio as we were working and introduced himself. Steve, (even though he really looked like a Charlie) is a cork artist from the San Francisco. He mainly builds sculptures out of "real corks". Nothing synthetic or monotonous, but rather the unique ones. He slices the corks and then builds sculpture forms out of them. On the side, he likes to peal corks and build iphone cases. thats what i call passion and dedication right there.

Call me the weaving lady

 Weaving, not a big deal. Actually its pretty easy and fun. But weaving an entire Bed Display looking up while standing on a ladder is an entire different story. There were many moments were i thought i was going to fall straight on my face but luckily that did not happen and i stuck through the entire upside down weaving process. And when they say they want a perfect weave, they mean a perfect weave by all means. The thickness, the color coordination, and the straightness was all taken into consideration.

Hardware was just another word in my vocabulary. But at Anthopologies, fixing the hardware is pretty much someones worst nightmare. It was my turn this time since i've never been given that task before. and maybe i should have said yes when they asked me if i had done this before. Fixing the hardware includes rolling down 2 big metro racks filled with hardware that range from door knobs to hangers and everything thats hardware ever imaginable. After rolling comes the efficient organizing and stocking. i was warned from the sad fact that some start and never finish due to the gabilliion bazziliion colors, patterns, size, kinds. But luckily i got the job done within the time limit and may i say that it looked pretty nice!
