International Orange Spa. San Francisco

Since the IO Spa is an interior space in a nondescript building, I made an 'interpretive', spa-like tinybuilding, using the graphics of the card to shape the structure. This is a case where the card definitely does the space justice. Just looking at it makes me more relaxed....

The interior of the spa is similar to the tinybuilding: white curving walls and slotted display areas and windows.

I especially had fun 'twisting' the logotype around the structure. I think it is rather Zen-like, whatever that means....

I did use multiple cards here, because I wanted the IO flag on top, leading you to a wonderful, relaxing and rejuvenating spa experience.

These three connected tiny buildings are the first in my new grand daughter's collection. There is a mommy house, a daddy house, and a baby bear house. The daddy house is about one inch high.

They are made of cards from a great kids' store in the West Village. I am sure many presents will be purchased here.
