Stage 2 - Prototypes and testing
Hand cut prototypes were made up to ensure the perfect fit.
It’s so good to see a project taking shape and gives the confidence that you are producing a one off project in the correct way, confidence to the client is most important but also to yourself – reducing the scope of any issues in production.

Nothing like a great big fat piece of cake to keep a you focused when it starts to get dark outside and you think the day is coming to a close.
It’s not over – this is the time of day when things can get done, projects won and the creative juices running.
All it needs is a bit of sugar and a cuppa.
