The other day I was walking in the old downtown, and I stumbled upon the neatest window display. The building that houses the display is no longer a shop, in fact it's currently empty save for its windows. The windows were filled with paper-crafted beauties. Some were paper ornaments hanging from above and some were made into 3D decorations that were scattered about, adorning the books that were wrapped to match.
The windows had a magic about them. Maybe it was that it was an unexpected treasure; a still life in a vacancy. Or maybe it was that the artwork was created from books; a world of words and fiction transformed and manifested into a different art form. Whatever it was, it was a lovely surprise in my day.
I found out later that this display is part of a city program for the arts. They are hiring different local artists to create window displays for the stores, restaraunts, and other buildings downtown. I am looking forward to seeing what other beautiful decor pops up!
