beaded headpiece

 

Remember how for the play I was looking for a beaded head band that I made years ago to put on Potifer's wife.  Wouldn't you know it I just found it.  Too late for the play but hey you get to see it all the same.  It is the same design on the front as the one...

Beadwork collar

I love this collar I originally started it in size 10 seed beads the same as the hat but as I was supper close to deadlines I stopped that one and started over with size 0/6 Czech glass seed beads.  Which made it exactly the size I wanted it to be hitting right at the edge of the shoulder.  It took me two days to make...

Beadwork hat finished

This hat was done in time for the play along with 157 other items I made between Sept 20 and October 13 ( 23 days).  That was an insane three weeks but well worth the effort the student did such a spectacular job on the play I was glad I could contribute to it.  I made the items in a total of about 415 hours...

The play...

Opening has happened and I just wanted to say how great all the people in the play are from the tech crew to the actors to the two directors. I always have fun helping in these productions the reward is to see the students so happy after they see all their hard work and they receive the praise of the audience.  These photos are from the dress rehearsal as I forgot my camera last night.  To see more photos from the play go here on Flickr.

In the news... my coat so to speak

I saw this in the news paper today how neat to bad I don't get the credit for having made the coat but I know I made it. If you want to read the article go here. They do have a mistake in the title of the article as it isn't a charter school but a private one.

progress on Cleopatra like head piece

So here is what was accomplished over the weekend on this headdress.  Sort of Cleopatra is the feel we are going for.  Because the play is sort of a modern twist on everything I mean Elvis is the king...

Start of Potifer's Wife's head piece

This is a piece from the play I will keep and not donate to the school because it is made out of all my supplies.  So it will just be added to my costume pieces for me.  Also it will take me over 40 hours to make this one piece.  Not sure it would be treated with the correct respect in the    costume area.  Because I have seen other pieces I have made stored wrong and I don't want that to happen to this.  For working on it just during  General Conference on Saturday so far so go.  If you want to see more photos of progress

Joseph's Coat is done

That was an amazingly ( no joke intended) long time to work on one jacket.  I feel as if I just made a vary large quilt as opposed to a jacket.  The weight of...

A Rainbow of colors

This is the fabric I got to use for the brothers pants.  For a play this is great for real life yikes that sure would be scary to own this wardrobe.

coat progress

Joseph's coat is starting to take shape.  Lots of color, lots more in the bottom half.  Good thing is the director likes it so far and so does the player who has to wear the costume so all is good there.
I hope to have it done in the next...

two sleeves for Joseph

 

Didn't work on this on Sunday at all I was working on the crochet instead my day off so to speak.  But I did work on it all day Friday and

Inside out ... Joseph

For those who wonder what the inside of the coat is going to look like.  This is actually the lining for the coat it is inside out on the mannequin.  The sleeves are made of...

The Partidge family /Joseph

 

This may not look like much but it is the start of the bottom half of the coat it is meant to sort of look like stained glass.  There is already a ton of hours in this coat and I haven't hardly even started on it.  The part that is funny to me is...
