My boys, my boys...

Well, not strictly my boys I was more a surrogate mum for Mr JB. I was so proud to see them welcoming all the visitors to Jon's solo show "Because I Can't Sit Still" at the Coningsby Gallery, Tottenham Street, London. Had a great night catching up with lots of friends. The show's until November 1st so if you haven't already been get down there and tell the boys Mummy was asking after them.

Introducing Professor Skeffington.

New plush character designed by Jonathan.. Professor Skeffington is a professor in Nautical Activities and an avid connoisseur of Aquatic Jazz (Thelonius Monkfish, Eric Dolphin, etc). Available to buy on Jonathan's website shop.

Luke, Sprouthead, Tickler.

Individual pics of the characters from the last post along with the original Burgerman sketch. I had these guys in my house in various stages for the last few months and now they're gone I'm kinda missing them. I just worry that Jon's letting them stay up too late and feeding them too many "e" numbers.

Mr Burgerman - what a nice man.

I've just finished and delivered three characters (and accessories) to Mr Jon Burgerman. The were a joy to make and can be seen at his solo show, "Because I Can't Sit Still", at the Coningsby Gallery, 30 Tottenham Street, London from the 21st Oct till the 1st November. The opening is on the Tuesday. Why not come along and meet Sprouthead, Luke and Tickler. I'll be posting more pictures soon.

Burlesque

First in a series of Burlesque outfits. Metal spiral boned corset in silk and lace with tie-side frilly knickers and net bustle. Topped off with lace and silk skullcap with black feather and merry widow veiling bow. There are "pasties" to match! Now all I need is a model. Any offers?

My day job...

When I'm not making fully clothed monster politicians or felt characters I have a day job designing and making bespoke silk wedding dresses under the name Beatrice Eve. A few months ago I did a fashion shoot with Agan Photography in the beautiful Thornton Manor. Here's a few of the photos. More can be seen on my Flickr site. Many thanks to the models - Angi, Sarah C, Sarah M and Simone.

Groyle Romps Home!

And the winner is... Leonard Groyle by a landslide (which, incidentally, is what his cousin causes over in British Columbia). Second was Scruntin and coming third was Lady Grunk. When asked about his success Groyle told the press "feug aiufeiyf figeff geyfgf y qifahcdkjaf if aefheufaf cksjac afuiahf!!!!!!!!!!!!". He's a "man" of few words.

Thanks everybody for voting.
