It’s been a long while since I last posted here, but I did make the move to London (a little before schedule, in early March last year), since then I’ve been a very busy bee! I have juggled a full time job (which is now something more relevant) with taking on freelance work.
Since my move I have created (from scratch) two spacesuits, one E.V.A. and one Re-entry for an independent client. I have assisted with alterations and dressing on Dianne Cutlack’s Elemental, been costume supervisor on her next play Driving to David and most recently I have had the pleasure of being assistant to director and producer on The All-Seeing Eye. This last role involved considerable organisation skills as I was responsible for the many props, costumes and assisting with line runs.
I have also undertaken classes in stump-work, lace applique, broderie anglaise and limerick lace, as well as short workshops in black-work embroidery and needle felting. I now thoroughly enjoy needle-felting as a hobby.
I am now assisting at a small bridal company during my day off in the week.
