Heartland College Library Displays

(Note: Click on the image for the top row to see a larger version of the entrance case pictures. For the two tall narrow cases, click on a row to see a closeup of that row. For the main case, click on the pieces in the rows for closeups.)

I couldn't get high enough for a shot of the entire case, so I divided the case into three sections. This case is at the entrance to the library, and we used it as our "marketing" case for the Society. We included a few beadwork pieces, but we also tried to give viewers a sense of the Society with a descriptive section in the center, a few photos from past meetings, a couple newsletters, and some bead-related magazines and catalogs.

These three cases are inside the library. However, the library has glass walls separating it from the hallway, so the cases are actually visible from both outside and inside the library. In addition, the way the library is built, a lot of light comes in from outside, so the glass of the beads was really highlighted well. Unfortunately, that same light made taking pictures a bit difficult, as there were reflections bouncing all over the place. Hopefully, though, the detail shots I took allow you to see the pieces pretty well. (Note: After we take the display down, I'll try to get the descriptions off the cards to include with the pictures. I didn't think to make copies of them before they went on display.)
