Wonderland's Wonderful Masks

Marvellous mask

So, the summer project is here! Hence my absence from the world of blog as I have been deep in preparation for this wonderous event. Wonderland is a week long community arts project, organised and delivered by arts collective Impecunious . This year we are at Botcherby Community Centre, you can follow the fun on our facebook page. A full update will (probably) follow but for now here are some marvellous masks that I have been making with some of the participants.

My Crown!

At work on Friday I felt like making a crown, so I did. I used my tried and trusted method of crocheting strips of plastic bag and then melting them with the iron. I just used a simple border pattern and used lace to fasten it at the back. It's not quite such a random thing to do as it may first appear. For our summer project this year I want to do some headgear making workshops so I'm starting to get samples made to give people ideas. I will also be making hats, wigs, fascinators and whatever else I can think of!
