Lizzie Props

I've done a few bits and pieces for Lizzie Props over the last few years, for theatre productions like Wind in the Willows, Big: The Musical, Aladdin, King Lear, Oliver Twist (open air). Here are some of them -

Wind in the Willows, busts as set decoration for Badger's house


Wind in the Willows, drinks for a party at Toady's house! Real colour and green colour champagne, complete with fizz!


Wind in the Willows, cakes for a party at Toady's house! Each has 4 threaded bars running through, connecting it securely to the baseboard.

Multiple layers, easy to carry and very securely fixed together. Body-filler icing, decorations selected.

Lizzie completed the final decorating - they look great!

Aladdin, 'stabbable' / fireproof straw mattress. Inner and outer cover wip. There's a concealed magnetic strip allowing a knife to enter and 'rip'.

Complete mattress. Gold runner was decoration for a set of a different production (last minute, got thrown in with the mattress!)
 Aladdin; this basket had a baggy saggy excess of fabric hanging out and so needed the lining repaired, 
which I was happy to do!

King Lear; this chicken was moulded in resin, cast in silicone, with a hole and empty inside
for Rhys Ifans to put his hand into it and wave it around during the show
The Rocky Horror Show; Narrator's Book

HodgePodge, directed by Ben Aston

Just found this little video on Vimeo, a short comedy I worked on with Ben Aston a few years ago. Look out for the hairdresser-antlers, the inflatable pregnancy belly, and the forehead-ear. I made those.

Sidekick Books; Birdbook: Saltwater and Shore

Here's a little illustration I did for a beautiful book of poems and drawings based on British birds, published by Sidekick Books. My drawing is one of the spreads shown as a 'peek inside'. Which was a nice surprise! Follow this link to visit the site, see my work, and buy a copy of this lovely book.
