cavaman

For a while now I've been creating "Cavaman" figures out of the corks and wire stays off bottles of Cava.

Recently I've had the distinct privilege of working alongside Liz Walker, founder of Invisible Thread, (www.invisiblethread.co.uk) -  at the last Art Market (www.artmarkets.co.uk) and on one last year where we wowed the passing punters with our "Cavaman" scenes.

Our productivity levels were slightly down this time round - we lavished our time on the first piece of our new oeuvre, "Rapunzel", and the in house catering demanded proper appreciation.

The alcohol consumption is a shared burden (between just about everyone we know) but we try and use the leftovers to reenact myths or whatever takes our fancy really.

"Snorkelling" and "Red Riding Hood" are currently in the making.  "Cavaman" will keep you updated!
