Bringing Character Design to life

In 2010 Helen Frik's first solo exhibition took place at the Chapter Arts centre in Cardiff. One of her installations was based on her picture titled 'Higher up, where to'. To make this installation work members of the public were invited to submit their unusual handmade toys which would fill an entire room. You have never seen so many strange imaginative creatures in one place.

Taking it a step further and famous for her work, the Felt Mistress creates the most amazing characters out of felt, her talent is inspirational and makes you want to move away from pen and paper and onto needle and thread. http://www.flickr.com/people/feltmistress/

If you give it a go, what you create can be time consuming but you'll be extremely proud of your life like creature(s)!!
