Scout Duck: 009 Rhyl, North Wales.
009 has made himself (herself?) at home with artist and fashion/ textiles designer Iris Hung. Armed with an MA in fine art a BA in fashion and textile designs and a PGCE teaching she completing her 5year teaching experience qualification, moving on to specialise in fabric design. She became heavily involved in knitting, embroidery, screen printing and making costumes rather like the snazzy Welsh lady costume that 009 is wearing in the photo! Apart from working on charity fund raising fashion shows she has had her knitted fabric designs sold to Fendi, one of leading fashion designers at the Paris Indigo show. She has also created costume interpretations at Plas Newydd her interpretations include the 1st marquis, 5th marquis and Rex Whistler based on the museum’s photos and paintings. I’m most grateful to Iris for her time and efforts in proving a good home for 009!
