Oak Leaf Headpiece,

Image
 To go with the Oak Leaf Cape I created a vegetable leather headpiece. Each leaf was lightly carved, shaped, painted and sewn in position. The band has a ribbon matching the cloak. It should  stop the leather from stretching.

 This project took over a year to gather the various coloured scraps of leather that would otherwise end up in landfill. it is a birthday present for my husband. He will wear it to Fantasy Forest this year.     

Folk on the Lawn: Cottage Stage

Image
 This was promised to the organisers of Folk on the Lawn, held on 9th July for 4 days in Tintern. All monies raised are divided up between the bands.  I am so glad to have this finished in good time. Fabric was saved from landfill by Gloucester Scrapstore. They are a lovely bunch.   2 banners one in Welsh and 1 in English. The reverse is silvery and reflective, so i made that the main fabric side. 12 swags to go across the front of the stage without blocking the view of the bands. 14 curtains. 4 to each side and 6 to the rear.
