For the past few years, Macy's has done interactive windows. On 34th street side, the windows had buttons, you would step on to make, Santa Fly, put toys in the bag, and have fun. This caught the eyes of young and old....grown ups especially had a good time being a kid again.
On the Broadway side, the windows were message and brightly colored with lights.

Always a show stopper Bergdorf never disappoints, the artful designers use every corner of the window. This year they had a message LOVE, HOPE, HARMONY, JOY, GOODNESS.

I wasn't going to do it this year. I thought maybe the stores didn't even decorate......BUT I WAS WRONG.
A friend encouraged me to go, so I grabbed my mask and took a short walk. 5th Ave was lit like they had been doing for years, with these little characters dotting the Avenue.
This is 5th Ave from 53rd - 57th Streets.
I was commissioned to create a Judges collar, similar to what Judge Ginsburg wore over her robes. I used purple silk satin and beaded the collar with fresh water pearls, glass beads, and some crystals and rhinestones. I am using Tulip Beading Needles, which have a larger eye for threading. The size 11. The thread is Silamide Bead Thread Size A.
The pearls I had in my supplies.
The thread and beads from Bead Stuff,
I purchased the beads from Toho Shoji,
My apartment has been undergoing a change. In 2017 I had my kitchen done over (See kitchen make-over here https://bit.ly/3jujjPG). It was quite a big project. The designer was Keita Turner (https://www.keitaturnerdesign.com/). This has morphed into an ongoing project and much needed surgery for this apartment. Although Keita and I both took photos via cell phones and point and shoots, she needed professional photos. Keita created a block buster team and below is a short clips of the day. Keita also wore for a silk patchwork tunic (see more dresses here https://bit.ly/3cWb8ZZ).
