2002 had some grandiose projects and events: Jackie had her first child Tallulah and we got to work on the 2002 adaptation of Peter Pan. It was produced and made on the Gold Coast by Warner Bros, so lots of local people in South East Queensland got work on this one.
Working with the designer Janet Patterson, we were given individual character descriptions, colour schemes, foot measurements and a handful of guidelines but otherwise were given creative freedom and because of a bountiful big-movie budget, we made some elaborate pieces. We tailored boots for Jason Isaacs (Captain Hook) along with boots for the pirates and faeries, and their stunt doubles. It was a bit of a wild rollercoaster ride but we were in our element given our affinity for storybook characters and the fantastical. In the end, we made 33 pairs of boots for the movie. Where are they now?
