Medieval dress - made to order

Every year, come September, the 'Terra de Trobadors', a medieval festival is celebrated in one of the nearby villages, where many people dress the part and enjoy 3 days of festivities.

I designed and made this dress this year for Meritxell.  It´s made of 100% cotton velvet, with silver / black braiding as a trimming.  It came out really nicely. The colour is a gorgeous deep purple.

Art & English workshop

What a week!  After some serious organising and planning I hosted a 5 day (9am - 1:30pm) with 10 kiddies aged 3 to 11 in collaboration with the Ajuntament de Palau-Saverdera.   They certainly kept me on my toes and seemed to enjoy every second of it. (a handy online collage tool)
