Curiouser and Curiouser

Current project at university is Adaptation, using an extract from a book and creating my own version of the prop, I have chosen Alice's Adventures in Wonderland after she has fallen down the rabbit hole and comes across a "three legged table" a "little golden key" a bottle with a label that says "drink me" and a cake with the words "eat me" written on it in currents.

The title for the project is "Curiouser and Curiouser" my choice of title is down to the original text where alice exclaims this line when entering Wonderland and also because i want to look at playing with the scale of the objects.

These are my initial designs for some of the props

Flamingo glass table:

Props for the BBC

Just finished making props for the BBC Inside Out South East programme. This show was about the future of Pfizer, i was asked to sort out props for the laboratory scene including an "experiement" in the shape of Kent, i sourced the majority of the lab equipment from Gravesend Grammer School who kindly lent me a variety of beakers and test tubes.

I made the "experiment" by mixing condensed milk with gelatin this when set made a gummy block, I then traced the shape of Kent through a template with a scalpel to cut it into the shape i needed.
