FDH President ~ Jill Littlewood has been experimenting with high shrinkage abaca to create drums, puppets, masks and props for theater.
Below are images of the work she has been doing. She says the following related to this sampling of the items she has been making:
ABOVE: "This is a drum head drying on a wooden hoop. I don't have a finished one yet so I can't show the results. If this doesn't work - if the pulp pulls away from the wood ring - I will put sand into the interior to weigh it down while drying."
