I had an opportunity to do a fun holiday installation this week at Rock Wall Wines in Alameda. It was a site-specific installation along the bar in their tasting room using oak lichen branches. The lichen provides a beautiful texture and color ~ one of reasons you see it used during the holidays for everything from wreaths to wintry tableaus to, well, holiday installations. The ornaments are just plain festive, but the glass orbs were filled with faux poinsettias, LED lights for some overhead twinkle, and Hershey’s holiday kisses. I’m not even a huge chocolate lover, but there’s something magical about a Hershey’s kiss wrapped in holiday foil!

This is really neat! Very creative.
It was super fun to do! Glitter from the ornaments and moss from the branches found there way onto the hat I was wearing when we did the install ~ so I felt a bit like a walking Christmas tree the rest of the week
