I'm so thrilled to announce that my film 'Lou' won the Craft Award for Best Production Design at the Royal Television Society North West Student Awards 2026!
An enormous thanks to the Jury, and congratulations to all winners and nominees!

I got the opportunity to make another puppet costume for @tyrex_animations ! Overall the process for this costume took just over 10 hours and it's entirely hand sewn. For the hoodie I used an old pair of cargos that shrunk in the wash, and for the cargos I used a pair of pants that I never wore ✨. For the graphics I mixed heavy body acrylic with fabric medium and used the tiniest brush I could find in an art store.

Nib and I taken by my mum @lucygell . Swipe for some progress pictures of Nib. I'm finished with university work now for this academic year, but I plan to post more drawings on @tabathagell if you want to keep updated with the arty stuff 🫶🏻

Here's a little animation of Nib! I don't know why the lighting isn't consistent but hey ho. I wanted the animation to be a bit smoother but I think I captured his essence and character. I hope you all like the loop! 🐀🌿

Thanks to @miketharme for teaching me how to silver solder so I could make his little ball and socket armature!
.
This puppet was made for one of my second year university modules where I researched the industry puppet fabrication pipeline, and documented all of the puppet making processes that I encountered whilst making Nib!

Stop motion puppet costume I have made for @tyrex_animations for their character of Warren. Swipe to the 5th slide for Ty's character design. This was so fun to make I especially loved carving the tiny pencils. The trousers and jumper were hand stitched, and the apron was sewn entirely with a sewing machine ☕

Here's a little show reel of the animations of Sensei Riki. A shortened version of the one I will submit for uni. The number in the corner is the number of frames (24 fps). One day soon he will have a head 🥋😁
