Fat Tuesday

Fat Tuesday was originally created for Macclesfield’s Pride Art Exhibition.  I had so much fun going to town on her glamorous outfit and elaborate dreadlocks. Her sparkly leotard is made from foil sweetie wrappers and her skirt and head-dress are real feathers. She’s 36 cm tall, up to the top of her head, though of course she will insist on flinging her arm out in that theatrical way.  I was gutted when Quality Street switched to plastic wrappers.  Tuesday’s boots are made from my carefully-hoarded foil originals – vintage!!

STOP PRESS!  Fat Tuesday will be on display at the Spring Gathering exhibition in Buxton’s Green Man Gallery from Friday 29th March to Wednesday 24th April.  Full details and opening times are on their website.
