Oh The Things You See at CHA...

One of the most interesting things about being at a show like this is looking at the amazing booth displays. Some companies literally go all-out. Here's some of the fun stuff I saw on day #2.

First we have Tim Holtz demoing with someone's iPad stuck in front of him so she could record the whole thing. A little gutzy in my opinion, but you see all kinds...


Next we have some of the samples from Ranger's "Designer Challenge" where they sent a paper mache dress form to a bunch of designers and they had to decorate it using some Ranger products. Tim's was missing, so someone either stole it (yes, a definite possibility) or it was taken down and displayed somewhere else.


This is followed by this peacock created with papers, glitter and crystals. I cannot imagine how long it took someone to do this...


But if you thought the peacock was impressive, this dress really takes the cake! It was hard to get a good picture with a small point and shoot camera, but this dress is made from paper flowers, adorned with Swarofsky crystals! It was truly stunning. Even had a matching shoe!


So, those were the fun finds in day #2.
