This is the first 'mock up' of a hand knitted costume - its taking me quite a while to get the scale and textures right. Thankgoodness I have found a really good knitter now, to knit the outfits.
Textiles of all kinds are my inspiration in life. Currently I am back with machine knitting which I am felting and cutting, stitching and embroidering. I have recently tried to incorporate crochet. Its an ever changing journey which I have been on for many years!

This is my first attempt at sculpting a face with which to make a mould and then face masks. It was done at one of Teresa Malyon's classes in her studio in Clacton. We made a mould as well and I shall soon be trying various materials to press the masks into the mold. We did this is a very busy day - it was a very rewarding day.
