‘But a few days later, the Something Different was still there...’ Another wonderful performance from the Bobble Hatters this morning. We had tears and laughter, and fantastic questions from yr 3 and 4 at St Nicolas Primary, Brighton. . . . #nottodayceleste #bobblehattheatre #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #timetotalk #childrenstheatre #puppet #childrensbooks #gokidmusic

I had a great day with the @charliewaller97 , the most amazing charity, supporting mental well-being in children and young people. It’s thanks to them that Celeste will be working her magic in ten Brighton schools next term with a fab live show featuring music from @gokidmusic and magical puppetry from @tinypuppetape, @daisy_barelyhumanpuppets and @nixclarewood! (Every day I pinch myself about this dream team!) Here is Celeste enjoying the Tower of London. . . . . #bobblehattheatre #nottodayceleste #charliewallermemorialtrust #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depression #puppet #childrenstheatre #brightonschools #pshe #toweroflondon #sightseeing (at Tower of London)
#marchmeetthemaker - day 19 - ‘can’t live without’. I did a City & Guilds in embroidery in my 20s, and learnt so much from my tutors, Dee and Christine Chester. I was desperate for a Bernina sewing machine like the ones we used at college. Eventually I scrimped enough to manage to buy this one second hand. It was made the same year as me - 1968 and has seen me through everything from power ranger costumes to puppets. It seized up yesterday and I nearly panicked...but then again so do I now and then! . . . #sewing #bernina #making #handmade #puppet #madeinnewhaven (at Newhaven, East Sussex)
I’m a bit behind with #marchmeetthemaker I’m afraid but I didn’t want to miss today’s prompt which is ‘inspiration’. I am so lucky to be surrounded by not only a wonderful family but also a totally fabulous community of creative and inspirational friends. I could have picked any one of them to talk about but I think my biggest inspiration is the amazing @jo_empson_illustrator. I met her during my MA at Cambridge School of Art, when we immediately clicked and proceeded to get lost on the way to lectures together every week for 2 years! I love Jo’s vibrant, colourful and loose illustrations, her amazing work ethic, and the way she just seems to overflow with beautiful ideas. All the while remaining the kindest and gentlest person you could ever meet. Here is one of Jo’s lovely books, Never Ever, along with the puppet I made for her. Thank you Jo for being so incredible xxx . . . . #illustration #illustrator #puppet #childrensbooks #childrensillustration #rabbityness #neverever #littlehomebird #chimpanzeesfortea #childrensbookshow
Today’s #marchmeetthemaker prompt is ‘plans and dreams’. Well my dream is to one day open a children’s theatre in my home town, #newhaven. Somewhere to put on shows I’ve written/worked on but also for other theatre groups to come and perform too. Recently there was a meeting held to see if there were any creative people in Newhaven who thought there should be some sort of creative quarter. The organisers expected around 15 people and I wondered if I should even go because it would’ve been embarrassing being the only person there! But there were about 100 of us! So exciting and inspiring. My dream might yet come true. (Thanks to @imeusdesign for the Newhaven logo). . . . #puppet #theatre #childrenstheatre #education #community #madeinnewhaven #bobblehattheatre #family (at Newhaven, East Sussex)
I’m a day behind with #marchmeetthemaker (and a lot more than a day behind with life in general) But a lot of the prompts, such as ‘post & packing’ don’t really apply to me as an illustrator/maker. Yesterday’s was #branding, and until recently this didn’t really apply either, but the exciting projects I’m getting involved in mean working in a team and that team needed a name! So here’s my new logo! As many of you know I’m adapting my mental health themed book into a show to go into schools - we are in rehearsals now which is so exciting. More news and images coming soon! . . . #bobblehattheatre #nottodayceleste #puppet #school #depression #mentalhealth #childrensbooks #children #theatre #madeinnewhaven (at Newhaven, East Sussex)
Today’s #marchmeetthemaker post is all about ‘time to relax’. I am very much a home bird - and there’s nothing I like more than to snuggle up indoors with my dogs and family. I am also totally crazy about nature and wildlife and adore country walks or even just watching the birds on my bird table. But something I do which is purely for me, and I love it so so much is #dancing! A year ago I joined a class at @mycharlestondance, with my husband, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s SO much fun - I love the 20s music and fashion, and the dance itself is cheeky, whacky and sometimes just plain silly. I love it! (By the way @mycharlestondance do classes and events all over the place and they are so friendly and welcoming) . . . . #relax #dance #charleston #vintage #brighton #flapper #strictly #fun
Today’s theme for #marchmeetthemaker - ‘how it’s made’. I always intend to take process pics but end up getting absorbed in the making and forget. But here’s a rough idea of the method for my latest puppet. My puppets are almost always textile. I start with a pattern (which I make). Then I stitch together and stuff very firmly. (Often there are rejects and I start again). Then I add shape and colour with stitches and blush cheeks with fabric paint. For hair, wool is sewn to a fabric ‘skull cap’. The body and limbs are also fabric and here you can see the elbow rod arrangement I tried out this time and like! Finally the puppet in rehearsals - still semi naked at this stage! . . . #method #sewing #puppet #wip #studio #handmade #craft #theatre #bobblehattheatre #nottodayceleste #madeinnewhaven (at Newhaven, East Sussex)
Bit late to #marchmeetthemaker today. The prompt is “routine”. It’s something I’ve worked on since being freelance and despite being a naturally quite scatty person I’ve found I am far more productive when I have a routine in place. I get up around 6.30-6.45, and after sorting out the dogs and humans and the minimum of housework I can get away with, I aim to get in my studio for 10.00. (Woman’s Hour used to be my incentive but I have given up my R4 habit now!) I use a bullet journal for planning and wrote a daily to-do list, plus the Pomodoro Technique for time management of tasks. It’s amazing for me - it keeps me focused yet gives me breaks to stretch my back, walk the dogs etc. I usually work this way until around 6 if possible, when I cook dinner and then either bring work indoors to carry on with in front of the telly, or sometimes I’ll write the next day’s to do list. . . . #routine #planning #bulletjournal #bujo #pomodoro #madeinnewhaven (at Newhaven, East Sussex)
I missed yesterday’s #marchmeetthemaker because the prompt didn’t apply to my work really. Today’s is ‘workspace’. I have a little studio in my garden. It used to be a coal store or something and after my mum died I used the money she left to get it converted and electricity put in. She was always so supportive of my career and it’s nice for me to feel she still supports me now. I can’t post a current pic as I’m mid manic project and don’t have time to tidy it. So here are a couple of glimpses. . . . . #puppet #wip #studio #mum #madeinnewhaven #art (at Newhaven, East Sussex)
I have cheated a bit for #marchmeetthemaker today. Its supposed to be ‘favourite to make’ and that’s too difficult for me! I can’t choose between puppet making and illustration- and printmaking can’t be left out either. So I’ve chosen to show my favourite subject to create...people! I just love to draw, write about and make them - and if they are slightly odd and have an animal companion then all the better. Top left are my puppets, Mavis and Jim. Next door a page from my favourite university project - my mini book, ‘Speed Dating). Bottom left is an etching with aquatint I did at BIP (I love etching so much and wish I could still do it) - and lastly I couldn’t leave out my picture book, (and soon to be puppet performance!) Not Today Celeste! . . #illustration #printmaking #puppets #madeinnewhaven
Day three of #marchmeetthemaker - ‘How I started’. I’ve never not wanted to create so it’s difficult to say! I grew up loving to write, draw and make things, as well as being a voracious reader. I just kind of forgot to stop! Although I never stopped creating, I was 45 by the time I got my MA in children’s book illustration at Cambridge School of Art, and 48 by the time I got published! So I’m living proof that it’s never too late. . . . #marchmeetthemaker #illustration #madeinnewhaven
