WYSITWIG
Posted on | May 8, 2010 |
It’s been WYSI-TWIG, err, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) for me lately. Every time I see twigs, I always stop and pick some. No matter where I am, it’s “When-I-See-Twig-I-Will-Get”. Near Asian Hospital (Festival Mall area), the long and winding road there is lined with trees and during summah time like now, it’s twig-Nirvana out there. That place is my “twigery”.
And why not, we use ’em during kodakan of our items. See ‘photwigs’ below.
And sometimes, our buyers who all love tawaran-portion (haggling) and freebies, we give these twigs accents as free items.
How do we employ the twigs? Please some-ples below…
Processing requires a little sanding (using sand paper), sun-baking too if the twigs are not that dry. Then, a quick spray painting (available at home depots, around 100.00 per compressed spray paint) if you want it other than its natural color. You may choose to have it un-painted for a raw-look, rustic-look.
For the rich kids, twigs, roots, sticks, vines and other types are also available in malls and other home furnishing stores in the Philippines. More elaborate and sophisticated ones. But then again, at the end of the day, it’s way cooler to look at the twigs and say that you picked it up in the park during one morning brisk walking with your son.
In case you drop by at our place and buy something, please ask for the free twigs (if we have at the time) and we’ll give it. Just say the magic promo word… WYSITWIG!
*BTW, did you notice the “at the end of the day“?, that’s unnecessary really. But I just want to use that, it sounds good… “at the end of the day.”
