Cirque de Chaussettes

What a treat we’ve had this week. The circus came to town, the Cirque de Chaussettes to be exact. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the photos on Flickr at the weekend. It’s all the amazing work of Sarah who now has two shops on Folksy & also on Etsy. The details in her work are amazing. Long ‘Stretch’ Johnson has a mouth that can actually swallow a felt swordfish, he even has a pink tongue!

As well as Stetch we also have the ringmaster, of course. What circus wouldn’t be complete without one. He’s called Monsieur Alphonse Poissonnier, and the detail there is also amazing. I really can’t choose a favourite from the pair. You have to get yourself over there and take a look. Sarah really has outdone herself with this work and I hope that lots of sales will follow.
