Biblical Meets Badass

Man it's getting gross outside! So while I'm huddled under the covers trying to get my feet warm, I thought I'd post some pictures of a costume I made for my older brother's production company. They were filming for their logo's trailer last Friday. The production company is called Arkangel or Archangel...I'll get back to you on that. Either way, we needed a costume that was going to make it look like this angel means business.

Meet Jason. There was no pattern for this costume, so I made up how to do the waistband and attached strips of brown cotton fabric. I also had to make some gladiator style shoes. I bought a pair of flip flops and built up from there. I think they turned out pretty awesome!

Yeah, he really is that ripped. I feel like I had the easy part.

Busy, Busy Monday!

Crazy weekend! The fam was in town for my nephew's dedication at church. I also spent Saturday morning assisting my sister-in-law doll up the sassiest bunch of lawyers I've ever come across. These ladies were definitely the most laid back group of girls I've come across in a long time. Congratulations to Amber and the man that gets to wake up next to her for the rest of his life! Now, back to work on a costume I'm working on for my brother's production company.

A Few Pictures I Stumbled Upon

Some pictures that I found in a file. I constructed this dress for Of Mice and Men at University of Texas El Paso. The designer was Crystal G. Herman. I was merely in charge of putting the dress together. But it's probably my favorite dress that I've ever constructed for the stage. It's a beautiful 1930's cut in a lovely pink satin with a butterfly pattern.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lining had to be hand sewn in.

Mostly it just looked like I was molesting the mannequin.
