BUMBLESNOUTS

I have been working in collaboration with a Primary school on Northamptonshire to create designs for their production of Bumnblesnouts. The designs are there for the parents to source costumes of a similar style. The punks need tartan fabric and shirts, denim, and leather jackets, and spiked hair. The Mrs Fizzy's need aprons, rollers, and flowery dresses.

The bumblesnouts are gentle aliens who travel all the way from outer space in a funny old spaceship to show humans how to take better care of their planet. They are horrified when they are attacked by bullies and sprayed by over-zealous cleaner, threatened by game hunters, a tree Fella' and gangsters- all behaving very badly indeed. But these earthlings get their comeuppance, and learn their lesson as it appears. Below ae some of the designs I have created for the school.
