A giant is about to walk through Scotland!

24th June 2009

The Puppet Lab has been inspired by the myth of the giant to carve an eight meters big puppet that will be touring Scotland from the end of September.

Mona will be helping out the wardrobe crew constructing the costumes for the twelve puppeteers and the Big man walking.

With Chris Elliott, dressed in a period military uniform already hidden amidst the leaves of the Palm House, Emma Morwood in the flowing grey dress of a WW1 nurse, gives a long, wistful performance of the song as she changes cloak for apron, a nurse preparing for a day on the wards.

Mona came in at short notice, grasped the project quickly [...] The results were fantastic. Extremely well made, durable and delivered on time, which was very important. We will use her services again, and would highly recommend her.

Thanks again for the costumes, they were beautifully made and I was very impressed by the quality of everything you produced and the thought that went into the details of each outfit so as to make them look good visually and still be easy to use by the performers.
John-Leigh Cassels Artistic Director

Fascinating sculptural costume.
Mary Brennan The Herald, 27 September 2012

Mona’s work for my film and theatre pieces was superb. The designs and final pieces were better than I could have hoped, and she worked closely with me to ensure I was happy with the work. I would recommend without hesitation.

I will certainly be in touch if any other opportunities arise, it was a pleasure to work with you, and the way you managed your team was really impressive.
Ian Smith Mischief LaBas Artistic Director

Extremely professional and organised in her manner and delivery of the project. (…) inventive artist that she combines with her organisational and management skills.
Alan Richardson Conflux Project Director

The hardest working woman in Rock N Roll.
Francis Gallop Theatre designer

It was an absolute pleasure to wear the dress you made for me. I loved it and it looked wonderful on stage. I was quite sad to have to hang it back up and leave it at the theatre!
Kim Shepherd Actress

Thanks again for your work
Andy Maas Producer

A pleasure to work with and very professional.
Laura Beswick Choreographer

Remarkable, chrysalis-like hemp costume [...] attractive to look at, particularly when the light shimmers through the rough fabric
Joyce McMillan The Scotsman, 27th September 2012

I just wanted to say again how truly great the costumes look. And you have stuck so incredibly well to the budget brief!
