Original sketches and window display designs
Scope and Contents
This folder contains primarily notated design process sketches of garland, pedestals, light fixtures and other display elements--some of them early rough sketches--done in pencil, pen, marker and crayon on various types of notepaper. Most are undated, though some indicate they were for Christmas windows in 1982, 1984 or 1985. Some design sketches of baubles and lanterns have Polaroids of actual objects attached to the drawing. There are two sheets with samples attached; one has small pieces of glitter textiles from vendor Gladstone Fabrics, the other has a handwritten label "Sonia Rykiel colors for windows in Jan", with pieces of felted wool attached.
