Last post

I have been writing two blogs for some years now. I am finding it too much. Both my costume work and my creative art work are part of my life and what goes on at my studio. So, after much thought, I am going to discontinue this blog and keep writing on my other blog "Not Carved In Stone." It will include posts about my costume work, which I hope will be of interest to all my readers.

So, friends, I hope you will follow me there.

Thanks for you attention and comments.

A Miwinters Dream Tale

Titania's crown
I am currently working with The Company of Fools, creating some costumes for their show "Midwinter Dream tale." Here is Titania's crown, ready for  the next fitting.

It's realy put me in the Christmas mood, as folks come to visit my Christmas sale at the studio. The crown uses icicles wired to a frame, then wired again in an artistic way, to hold the icicles upright. then i wove strips of her dress fabric around the icicles, to give a band to the crown. It needs to be lgiht, as this is a very physical comedy!

I have created Titania's costume and sorted out the chorus. I don't wnat to spoil it with too many details!

The show opens at the Great Canadian Theatre Company November 29th, 2012.

Christmas sale at the studio

I'm getting ready for my sale this weekend at my studio. I took these Christmas dragons to doll club on Sunday. They are kinda goofy and people liked them. The beards are removable!!

I have all sorts of gift items I have created and there are some angels in the works too!

If you are in Ottawa this weekend, please look me up! I'll be in the studio Thursday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 pm. 1276 Wellington Street.
