Part of the Ballad of Backwards and Forwards Collection
Tully found if she dressed the part it gave her the confidence to be her most flamboyant self. She could be shy when others were around, and it felt inhibiting. When she wanted to dance extravagantly, or sing loudly she popped on her tiara and did as she pleased. She could always retreat and admire her own bravery - she didn't need others to.
The okapi is a discarded toy, the ballerina from a collection of cake toppers gifted from a customer in America. All materials are recycled, collected and found, deconstructed and reassembled to tell a new story and have a refreshed purpose.
They are embellished with collected feathers, textiles, jewellery, dried flower components and beads. I have also dressed them with decoupage, paint and foil leaf. They have vintage Indian textiles and painted hooves.
All my pieces are individual and one-off - as I only work with recycled and reclaimed objects I never know what I am going to find. If you are looking for something particular, please ask - and I'll start looking!
