Theresa May bans balaclavas !

Oh dear! In the light of the recent unrest during protests against government spending cuts Theresa May aims to ban the wearing of balaclavas. I hope the ban doesn't extend to ban my fashionista balaclavas - these beautifully crafted fashion accessories could now become illegal apparel! Check them out at my final degree show at Northbrook College 8 - 10 June and also at New Designers, London 30 June to 2 July. Commissions welcome.

Here is a sneak preview of a prototype of one of the designs:

Sneak preview - upcycled fashionista scarecrow

As this project is taking a lot longer than anticipated to complete and given that I am working more or less from the feet up, here is a sneak preview of the silvery flowery shoes that the fashionista scarecrow will be wearing on her amazingly skinny and lumpy-bumpy blue legs! (Upcycle techniques: spray paint old shoes with silver, make "flowers" from machine embroidered back-to-back yogurt pot tops adorned with vintage button.)
