Fruit Stickers – What we do with them!
Fruit Sticker on Hand
Fruit Stickers on Cardboard
Ever since fruit distributors and sellers decided that every piece of fruit needed its own sticker, we have had to deal with them. We decided that we would take off all stickers, except for organic fruit stickers because they clearly identify the fruit as organic. The next question: What to do with the stickers? Here, we see that Nadine makes a sticker pile on the back of her hand.
Alternatively, we stick them to the face of a cardboard fruit box. We love the collage created by the random application of the stickers.
Fruit Inspired Sculptures along Broadway
Elephant & Apple Sculpture
There is a public exhibition of 18 sculpture compositions by Peter Woytuk that runs along Broadway from Columbus Circle with the monumental “Elephant Pair” and continuing north along Broadway, culminating with the majestic and graceful “2 Bulls” at 168th Street.
Woytuk allows the power and elegance of his subjects to become both graceful and whimsical expressions of mass. Using a style that is at once descriptive and expressive, Woytuk also enjoys altering the scale of everyday objects such as tools or fruit, which in his hands are transformed into animated participants in the composition.
Hermès Apple Bag – How to Avert an Apple Emergency
For the woman or man on the go, Hermès designed an Apple Bag that holds and single apple and has an apple corer in the strap. Of course it’s pricey. But rest assured, being too busy will no longer be an excuse for missing your afternoon apple. We at Manhattan Fruitier will happily fill anyone’s Apple Bag with a beautiful apple – gratis.
Our Favorite Machine – The Pak-Tyer
We use the Pak-Tyer to wrap and tie our hampers with red string. This is low tech, and all the more amazing for it. We place a hamper in the opening of the machine and step on a foot pedal. A metal arm threaded with red string swings around the hamper twice and somehow ties a handy knot. It happens so fast that we can’t really see how it ties the knot. We think the Pak-Tyer is the greatest invention since slice bread.
