(Left/Below) Rapunzel's Suitor: This head piece was created and designed by me in collaboration with the Wigs and Makeup practicum (Micaela Burke) at the Banff Centre. I used Worbla Thermoplastic to form the rose buds, thorns, and branches. I then painted the piece and added green floral wire to add delicacy and detail.

(Below/Right) Unicorn Head: This is an in-process piece made for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at Albert Theatre Projects. I contact cemented pieces of closed celled foam to a hard hat, and later filled the empty space with expanding foam. The next day I began to carve to create a horse-like head, a starting point for this soon-to-be unicorn. 

Upholstery completed in assistance with Kim Nash, Charlie Stuart-Grumbar, and Kyoung Kim. Royal Avocado velvet with hand-made double welting.

(Above Left) Canapés: Shells created with air drying foam-clay and later painted, dry-wall filler shaped to simulate goat cheese, and stock leaves cut to the shape of a bay leaf.

(Right) Dessert Squares: I made these by cutting closed-cell foam into small cubes and dipping them in Foam Coat to simulate icing. Once that had dried I used a hot glue gun to create the detailed flower shapes and pearls. Finally, I used acrylic paints to colour the cakes.

Whimsical Spoon: I drew out the shape I wanted for the spoon on a piece of pine, creating a rough cut of this on the bandsaw (above). I then carved and sanded it by hand to create the final product before finally oiling the surface to seal together my work (right).
