I’m currently taking a little break from costume, paying off the overdraft first!

But I did work on something a couple of weeks back, The Madness of King George for the Icarus Theatre Company

I only made the underwear for the Countess of Pembroke (that’s her being manhandled on the left there):

still pretty exciting to know something I’ve made is on tour.

Speaking of which, Angel Exit are touring Moonfleet, which is also pretty cool and if you’re in the area I urge you to check it out

I have been neglecting you little bloggy and for that I am sorry!

So the last week or so I have been mostly doing my SP costume (pictures soon, pleated fabric arrived today!) but there are a couple of other things going down!

I finished my Anne/Elizabeth toile. Its all ready for the fitting and then hopefully I’ll be able to find some top fabric to start making it!

I got ‘commisioned’ to make a bad alice in wonderland outfit for my SP model…in 2 weeks! I’ve worked out the pattern now I just need to buy the fabric and get that bad boy made!

Today I got to work on a special someone’s christmas present as well as making another where the wild things are type hat…which is exciting! pictures soon…it needs a little tweaking.

Also today I went and had my negotiated work from last term photographed. Looked great in the house so hopefully the pictures turn out well! And this evening I was in Poole for a performance of Moonfleet which I made a costume for last year. Was pretty unimpressed to see my first professional credit with my name spelt wrong, but on the plus side my costume was on stage the whole time! Very exciting for me! Also a super production, I would totally recommend it!
