My current progress on making the 'James' figure, finding it hard!

Spider Scissors

For my James and the Giant Peach brief I am starting to look into the characters and creating a sense of place before I start my drawings. I'm getting a Tim Burton feel for the brief, but combining that with my innocent style.
I came across 'Spider scissors' by Christopher Locke. These spiders were made from scissors and army knives confiscated by the TSA at airport security checkpoints.

Although i cant stand spiders, these i enjoy. They capture the eerie presence and familiar poses of a spider.

Looking into answering the Puffin competition-James and the Giant Peach. Here as some characters by Sarah Hilton to set me in the creative mood.

Cushion Designs

These are my (badly photographed) pictures of my first horse cushion designs. I am really pleased with them and am currently sewing peals on to the designs.

 

Carousel

Victorian carousel at Barton Sq that fits nicely with my cushion designs (coming soon).
