Monster Hoods

Meet Wizgone

We do like to switch and turn, to play around with different ideas and skills. The steampunk jewellery was a lot of fun but it is so last season! Now we have moved onto fluffier, terrifying monster hoods to get people dressing up for the festival season. I have to say that these monster's are probably the most fun thing I have ever made, each one is different so I never get bored or tired of doing the same thing. It is so satisfying to produce something that is unique and extremely popular among my friends. Every monster is hand-stitched from recycled materials dug out of my overflowing studio, they acquire names and personalities as they are created and come to life.

They are given a lining of awesome fabric to compliment the design while also making you look cool even when wearing it down, and to avoid it falling off I have designed counterweight straps that can be worn loose or tied for security. Plus they are an awesome poking device for pesky friends.

I have had so much fun designing and creating these monster and can't wait to showcase them at the Fabulous Travelling Bag Folk's first ever market. 

The Fabulous Travelling Bag Folk

I am so excited, for weeks I have been scheming and plotting with some fellow creatives and we have come up with a Fabulous new venture. All of us have attended various market's in and around Bristol, sometimes they have a good turnout, ocassionally it is worth standing around in the cold, but most of the time (in my experience at least) they are disapointing. A lack of publicity is the biggest downer, when all there is to bring people in is a black and white A-board stuck outside on the day it's not surprising there isn't much interest. I have been to market's where the venues is so dark and dingy you can't even see the stall's, there have been times when the venue hosts have made it clear that we are in the way. In short, Bristol has a terrible lack of fun, atmospheric markets.

So me and my fellow schemers have come up with The Fabulous Travelling Bag Folk, we have collared all our crafty friends and hired out a venue, we've brainstormed idea's to get punter's in and enjoying the atmosphere. We've got fancy dress, competitions for the best bearded lady and the most marvelous hat, we have a number of great Dj's on hand. A blank board for our guests to doodle on, wandering entertainers to fill the air full of juggling balls and general carnivally amusement!

Moon and Magic are certainly be going along, we are splitting up the team and will be hosting two stalls. My sister is taking charge of the steampunk jewellery, spats and custom suit jackets, while I'll be presenting our newest venture...Introducing Moon and Magic fantastically unique and terrifyingly cosy MONSTER HOODS!!!!! Oh yeah, handmade from recycled materials and designed with much enthusiasm, each one is individually crafted and has it's very own personality.

If you want to enjoy a day of entertainment, fantastic handmade goods and support local crafters of Bristol then hop along to:
