In the past week I had to make a few last minute, extremely cheap (they had a v. tight budget) costumes for the play I was involved: An “Acrobatman” shirt (blue shirt with a yellow triangle and a red “A” on the front ala Superman), 3 Devo hats, and an Elvis shirt (with attached belt so the 2 actors that wore it could change into it easily backstage).
The Elvis shirt I was pretty proud of for such a ghetto project – it read pretty well from stage. I didn’t get pics of it but I’m supposed to be getting it back, but we’ll see. The Devo hats were also pretty ghetto but fun. Also spent a lot of time fixing costumes, taking them up, and making random accessories.
Today I got fabric for my Padme EpI parade gown cloak. I got both ivory organza and ivory chiffon – I was originally going to get all organza, but some of the lower petals don’t drape like organza… so I got some chiffon too. We’ll see.
Also got great fabric for my dad’s Qui-Gon robe.
In January there’s a small local con called Shadowcon – I think I may go. I was going to go on saturday this year but got lazy and didn’t.
