Ahhh, these past couple of weeks I undertook some great work experience helping out in the wradrobe dpartment for the Buxton Festival - if you're around about the area go check it out! It was a really enjoyable experience, not only did I get to do some bits of practical work myself but I met some lovely people and was priviledged to see all three productions in the rehearsal stages and for real!!! Have definitely landed back on earth with a massive thud at my part time job house keeping I can tell you.....

A few pointers scribbled down that I picked up along the way and a quick sketch of a hat designed by Russel Craig.

Drawing in my sketchbook diary of what the chorus wear in Jeptha. Fetching.

As a fair well gift the lovely wardrobe department gave me these designs of Russel Craig's signed and framed! Am so chuffed with them, I actually love them as not only are his drawings exquisite they hold happy memories of my time at the festival and are one of a kind. They are going to take pride of place back in the flat next year and serve as inspiration for my own design work.

Designs for the 'Double Bill' - 'The Maiden in the Tower' and 'Kaschei the Immortal.'

Alongside these beautiful designs Mark, Sue and Vicki also gave me these lovely presents as a thank you and a goodbye, I was really touched and taken aback - hopefully it means I wasn't completely useless!

 

Today we finally had a summer evening, so after being at work since

8am I was desperate for some outdoor air and to enjoy this rare sunshine.....

Chatsworth.

Don't ask cause I really don't know.....

Where all the best walks end. A pub.

Field next door, yep those sheep are the closest thing we have to neighbours.
