This is a recording of the Jabberwocky shadow puppet performance that we performed at Milkwood Gallery, Cardiff, on the 2 March 2013. Jabberwocky is a nonsense-verse poem that was written by Lewis Carroll.
The puppets were made by myself, Layla Holzer and Rachel Gibson and the audio was taken from Jan Swankmajer’s Jabberwocky.

This recording is of the Punch and Judy puppet show I performed with Layla Holzer at Milkwood Gallery on the 2 March 2013.
The puppets were made by myself and Layla whilst the characters were voiced by Peter Hathaway (Punch) and Amelia Johnstone (others).
The evening was a great hit and we had a packed out audience at the gallery. We also performed a shadow puppet play of Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky which I’ll also post up here for you to watch soon.
The Once Upon Again exhibition at Milkwood Gallery continues until the 9 March.

I’m a little late blogging this animated embroidery as it was uploaded for Valentines day last week. This video was put together by Etsy and features textile art by Megan Whitmarsh, music by Becky Stark & Peter Glantz and animation by Matthew Salata.
I like the idea of animating embroidery. This approach id different to that of Aubrey Longley-Cook who greated animated gifs from a series of prgressive embroideries.
It’s something I’m keen to have a go at myself, particularly with my unicorn embroideries. Unfortunately there are not enough hours in the day at the moment though.

This stop motion embroidered video was made for Black Books’ latest single by director Christophe Thokler. It’s a stunning piece of work that uses over 10,000 images to create a truly unique piece of film.
In addition to the phenomenal amount of photos that Christophe used in the creation of this video he also used
- 1 km of thread
- 350 reels of thread
- 73 000 embroidery stitches
- 6 kg of scraps of fabric
- 100 needles and sewing pins.
It makes me want to go an animate my stitch supplies.

This project is rather impressive. Incredipede is a side-scrolling computer game that has been constructed using a series of intricate woodcut illustrated panels.
The illustrations for this game is the work of artist and photographer Thomas Shahan. As Thomas explains in the video the prints are cut from woodblocks before being digitally coloured.
Having been dabbling with some wood cutting techniques lately I’m very impressed with the way in which this game has been constructed. There’s clearly a hell of a lot of work has gone into the design of this game. Being new to this my own panels are a long way from this standard. I’m also not intending to make prints from my woodblock but embroideries instead.
You can play a sample of Incredipede on their website: www.incredipede.com

I’ve been out in the great big white world with my unicorn, Invictus, and this is the first little film clip I’ve put together as a result. It was shot with my DSLR taking stills at intervals following which I edited out the rider of the hobby-horse hence the stop motion type look of this video.
I’ve quite a lot more footage to edit, both stills and moving image, but this little clip has been a good jumping off point.

I went to see Cirkus Cirkör performing in Cardiff last week and was treated to a wonderful show. This is the trailer for the show which was entitled ‘Wear it Like a Crown’.
If you get a chance to see Cirkus Cirkör perform I’d definitely recommend it.
