There's a lot of artistic talent in Hay when it comes to decorating shop windows, especially for Christmas - just look at this wonderful picture of Booth's Bookshop, taken by Suzy Davies! It's all done with paper - the Ice Queen, her mask and crown, and the rabbit and raven at her feet.
There's also a white peacock (stuffed) in the window of The End on Castle Street, a Jan Pienkowski-style nativity (all done with silhouettes, which I can't spell) at Addyman Annexe, and penguins searching for the Antarctic at The Bookshop on the Pavement (with one holding the map upside down, and a polar bear lurking in the background).
Even I noticed the Ice Queen in the window of Booths and was impressed.
ReplyDeleteI understand it's actually modeled on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen"
ReplyDeleteI wondered about that, but Ice Queen was what Suzy called her photo, so I went with that.
