Paper Mache the first attempt
Hello, well the paper mache arrived yesterday and I am ready to get to work with it. The aim is to create a gothic/evil clown puppet. But it may not be that when I finish. I will keep you updated as to how my first project progresses. Saying that I did do some home paper mache 2 years ago for a friends halloween costume, it is the death costume in the pic, I also made the jesters costume and the fairy costumes. I am the one on the end in case you could not guess.

- Hi Jo-Anne,
How's the book coming along? Published yet?
I booked an appointment with myself this very day (20th Nov.) one year ago (2008) to visit your creations for an enjoyable update. On arrival at your 'comment wall' however, I see there's been no activity since my last visit. Hopefully, this means that you are actively yourself too much and indulging in the design and making of endless characters. Good. The full Pokemon range was about 150 characters so when you have overtaken them, let me know.
New appointment booked, same day next year.
All best
<*)))))))))><<br />

Has your storytelling evolved from stories that have come to mind when creating your characters?

Paula Mae said… - Hi Jo-Anne,
Thank you for your comments of my works and so sorry for my bad english = )
I love your dolls especially the Belladonna Gothic Earth Fairy and also Amon Gothic Circus. You love all about gothic, am I right? have you watched Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride?
About my doll, I tried to make a mummy. Tried to dye a cotton fabrics using a hair color, but it didn't looks natural, beside, I don't wanna make my mummy doll gets dirty from the stains. I haven't posted the photos yet, right now I'm in the middle of my female felt doll making, haven't buy some materials for the dressing. It looks rather like one of your dolls, big eyes, red lips and skinny = ) I'll post the photos when it's done.
So nice to have you here Jo-Anne.

Hope you are well, and that life is good to you on Skye,
Love Val xxx

Years ago when I worked at a costume house/studio (Scaramouche Costumes) it was not uncommon for me to disappear into the warehouse and arrive back in the workshop dressed up as some outrageous character...then quitely sit down and commence work and wait for one of the other staff to look up from their job and burst out laughing! Have fun.
