MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

and more bits and bobs

Quite obviously I have nothing to show you in the way of creativity, altho' I HAVE been working on a couple of projects.  One is a secret for now, but you will see it in time.  The other is to create a bag for a head.    A head, you say?  Yes, a head. 

See?  
 

Believe me, this thing is massive.  It's part of a human sized 'Furry' costume and I've been commissioned to make some sort of carrying bag for it.  Not an easy chore I might add!! 


Today the quote is from John Ruskin.... "The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it"

    Now this Furry costume head is quite the character. A bag for safe storage and carrying? Sounds like a large sturdy drawstring type bag that will allow the head to "turn" any which way it wants to. Maybe the type that can also be a "backpack" for hands free carrying. My you do have some interesting requests. Please show us your finished results. High on Life Furry Head July...

    That felted mask/head is incredible! But so is the idea of designing a bag for it. I am preparing myself for awe :)

    That's a big bag! Thanks for all the links you're sharing. Can you set it so they open in a new window? I don't want to lose you all the time. ;-)
