WIP Stop Motion Puppet






Have been sewing the stop motion puppet for the animation I want to make. Started with a wire armature (skeleton) of the body made of twisted wire. I've then stitched felt over the wire to create the body. Its stuffed with cotton stuffing from a cushion. Right now the stitching has quite a beautiful quality in its rough state so thought this would be a good opportunity to photograph it.

Folio Society Entry: The Bloody Chamber


' I could contain myself no longer. I telephoned my mother'
 The Bloody Chamber 





'There she is, the evening star with the clouds around her'
Puss-in-Boots


'The last thing the old lady saw... was a young man, eyes like cinders, approaching her bed'
The Company of Wolves



Binding Cover Image

The Folio Society's annual brief is to complete three illustrative images for the novel of their choice. The Bloody Chamber is a collection of re-told fairytales published originally in 1979. I have admired the book since reading it a few years ago so even though I had other projects that needed attention I felt I'd regret not entering a submission. The illustrations are Gouache with Photoshop. The binding design was entirely produced on Photoshop

Lady Gaga Felt Doll

This was a present to someone who is a big fan of the mother monster. Be warned, recreating an Alexander Mcqueen in felt is no easy task!
