In Rockefeller Center there is an Anthropology Store, and it is absolutely beautiful! It's like a painting everywhere you look. I was there a month ago when they had decorated the place with paper mache cacti. Oh, how I wanted them for my very own!
So, I decided to try to make them. That didn't work out so well.
Last week I went into the Anthropology Store again just to enjoy the decor, and the cacti were gone! I asked an employee about them, and she said, "Oh! They're right over here." I learned that this particular store has its own in-house design team of 12 artists who come to work and make art for displays every day, and they sometimes sell them when they're done.
Here are the ones I brought home. They were filled with sand, so I barely made it without collapsing. (Yes, I took the subway.) I got lots of strange looks and some smiles. . . a rare thing in the subway. If you're wondering, $20 each! They are BIG, the largest one is 3 feet tall.

Wow, those are VERY realistic! I'm happy to see them.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! But when you get close, you see the newspaper through the paint and it makes them that much more beautiful!
