WellyBoot Armchair - Final Exhibition

So I finally finished the sofa - which ended up being a very squidgey comfy armchair type thing...I think I actually created a whole new genre of chairs...

Heres some photos from the exhibition, and I managed to get a few of my beautiful cat Mrs Tuffles playing on it in our beautiful garden, before it was mowed and we moved house and Tuffles went to live at my mums house.

crochet fever



Haven't made a new hat for a while, so thought id make something loose knit and spring colours for the new season. In this photo the edge is folded up but it'll make a nice baggy hat once its found its shape a little better :)

Welly Boot Sofas...

I was asked to help a friend out with his charity festival reboot...he collect all those wellies everyone leaves behind at glastonbury and turns them into bracelets and such. http://www.festivalreboot.co.uk.

He asked me to see if I could make a sofa out of wellies....now I wont tell you too much until I have a finished product which should be in about a month, but have been doing some printing with a wellyboot tread design. The idea is to bring together the idea of 'what we leave behind'...and the effect it has - not necessarily just for the festival but in a broader sense. Today I finally got my screen print mug on - took me about 3 weeks but pleased with the initial experiments...
