Crochet Delights

As promised Dave is pimped up for the festive season, bedecked and bebaubled  he can’t wait to get out there and party. If truth be known it’s been tricky keeping him under wraps, he’s been dressed up like this since August Bank Holiday. Any way here he is, dusted down and free to mingle at will.

David is hanging out festively on high quality but scrap paper, a bi product of the packaging industry in Hull. Sometimes this paper will be smooth, sometimes textured, it just depends what is surplus to it’s day job. He is printed on two sides in glorious technicolour by hand in  my studio on my Epson Ecotank ET – 7750. His Tassels (cotton) and other embellishments are sourced locally from real shops run by mostly by real Nannas. When folded he is 150mm by 104mm and extends, when open, to an impressive 300mm!! He is designed folded and finished by myself and given a fancy loop made from red waxed bookbinding thread from the mecca of bookbinding supplies that is Rachfords in Stockport, this, so you can hang him from any convenient tree or Mistletoe sprig you fancy. He has asked if possible he could be dangled away from through drafts due to the shortcomings in his costume and his tendancy to chills.(I did say he should have thought about that earlier!) This is why for postage purposes he is dressed in a cosy C6 recycled and recyclable British Harry Manila envelope.

Dave can be purchased in gaggles of 5, he has kept himself trim so he can travel under the steam of a normal first or second class stamp.
