Dublin at Christmas Parades 2010

At the beginning of November I started building 16 costumes of Presents and Christmas Crackers for a series of parades to take place on Henry street and Grafton Street. They were made from; PVC conduit, Polyester dress lining, PVA glue and glitter, A cowboy hat and galvanized steel wire.
The first 6 parades were canceled due to the snow.

Pride June 2010

Dublin Council wanted an entry to the Parade this year celebrating those in the Olympics and so wanted the theme of 'Sport'. I had a deadline for starting construction but they took too long to get back so I pulled out. Here was the design I had proposed.

Chinese New Year 2010

Chinese New year fell on February 14th and was the year of the Tiger. I was called last minute to put together some form of dressing for the venue. I made bunting, tiger lanterns and banners for stringing up across the square. I somehow managed it in 72 hours. Maybe because I didn't eat or sleep... again.
