Paper-bag Man.

This is the start of Paper-bag man. He is forced to wear a paper bag as society scares him and he is afraid to show himself to the world. He fears being judged by the harsh eyes of others and so conceals his identity in the comfy brown of a paper bag. Individuals who acquire Paper-bag man have the capacity to make him feel loved and cared for and are the only ones who he will reveal his true identity to.

A bag is made. Now for the man. Updates to follow...

Mr Electron.

Yesterday I went to the Sydney craft fair with mum and Anth. I found a kit to make a Mr Electron man and couldn't resist making one for G. I made a mini Mr Electron. Finished him this morning and then did a photoshoot of him looking cool. He likes to play the drums and listen to loud music! 

Vintage Kimono skirt.

I'm in the process of making a skirt out of pieced-together Japanese kimono silks. Here are all the beautiful vintage squares laid out before I sewed them together. The skirt is a project for rainy days and even though there have been multiple since I started, I am still a bit hectic time-wise and haven't finished it yet. Can't wait to get into sewing in the coming holidays! I'm going to add a thick black sash and wear it to an arty party, oOoh lala ;)

Pigs with wings.

It has to start somewhere. 

And so it starts tonight...

It's 12.49 am and i've just finished stitching wings onto my sock pigs.

The work table is messy and  covered in tiny thread off-cuts. 

 

So little time to post but thought if i didn't start somewhere I'd never get to show you what i've done.
