When people ask ‘what I do’, and I tell them I design and make costumes they think it sounds very glamorous. It’s not really, but I just go along with it to make myself sound more interesting. They ask what sort of costumes, so I tell them I’ve worked for theatre, carnival, TV and film, amongst other things. ‘Oh I’d love to do that’, some of them say, and I reply ‘Well do it then’. I omit to tell them about the drawbacks, which I’m not going to go on about here either, because really I love ‘what I do’, and compared to some jobs I’ve done in the past, it’s an absolute joy. I have pictures of the costumes I’ve been working on for this movie, but can’t show them to you until the movie is released. So here are a few pics of costumes I’ve designed and made in the past, and if you go to my website you can see lots more.
