Completed Projects

This Blog is the companion to my main Costume Portfolio / Costume Maker website kipar.org.

Where the website concentrates on costumes and embroidery, and on how to hire me for costume making for your independent film or stage project, this blog includes all those other creative pursuits of mine, such as quilting, DIY, furniture hacks, jewellery making, etc.

You can also find me on Pinterest, Flickr and on Twitter.

My PhD research blog can be found on my website at kipar.org/blog
