It never rains but pours, after working on a big project in Ireland for a week with Colin Myles I'm straight back from Dublin and have been weaving all night for another project for Tuesday with David Crofts, first of the pictures;

I have loads of pictures but it's been so busy this past ten days that I have just not had any time to re-size and upload them.
Hoping to get a bit of time now things are finally all sorted and slowing down, well I do have a show tomorrow, two on Sat and then we are off Sat night to the Bristol day of Magic for the Sunday and then the Tom Bibo lecture at the care & share day on the Monday.
Here are the pictures from making the sculptures Sunday night and all day Monday although David also spent all day Saturday and Sunday working on the sculptures. We had a 12 hour day on set waiting for the filming but the food was good.

On set, David made two sets of legs on Sunday as the client wanted the round balloons as they made for a contrast of texture.
Luckily we got them to change over to the more sturdier and in keeping with the sculpture set which helped with keeping Bill the cow upright for filming.
A few more changes happened, all the udder teets went, horns and tuft of hair.
