After meeting with Holly Dodson in the weekend who is one of the facilitators, we had discussed the fact that during the set-up over the weekend we had found that not only was there a lack of people there to build the stalls, but also that the use of paper to cover them was time consuming and costly.
So basically the original idea that they had for the stalls didn't work so they need to tell anyone and are encouraging suggestions. They originally were covering the boards with paper but it was too time consuming and they don't have enough people to do all the boards in time. So they want ideas from us- I put through just covering the boards with some sort of material- calico would probably be the cheapest.
So I have suggested to my group that if we all chip in $3 each that would give us 5metres to use to cover the boards which I think would be enough. The pictures above show the boards that were covered with paper and how many more are not, and I believe that using calico could be a good idea- as it also links well with the rustic, vintage and old-school feel that we want for our stall.
We want to create a mood that shows our eco-friendly concept, using things such as crates and calico for our banner to design our stall and put our products on for display. We are currently tossing up with the layout of the stall and how we're gonna make it but basically we want the idea of a rustic welcoming feel. And even though we do not have dimly lit area, the use of fairy lights which we are gonna have all around our stall will not only add a homely and welcoming atmosphere to our stall. The use of natural materials such as fabric and wood to decorate our area also enhances this. We are also using brown recyclable card to print our tags on and twine to hang them around our candles.
There are photos of ideas and inspiration for our stall concept, colour scheme and materials we'd like to use on my pinterest page for this paper: http://www.pinterest.com/sbaua/creative-industries/
