Score!
I've been working fulltime with costumes the past two weeks (not good for schoolwork), and the premiere was on Tuesday. The show that was put on was HONK! a musical about the ugly duckling. That means a 100+ poultry for some 100+ actors! It looked great on stage.
I also got to pick out some fabric from the leftover pile (yey!), and this is what it looks like safely in my closet:
Wow, guess which colors I like? Haha! There is some silks and some velvet-fabrics in there that are just beautiful (the green/yellow ones), and there is a really high quality pinstripe fabric that there is enough of to make an actual garment out of! The top fabric to the left there is also quite a bit of, it's actually a curtain and therefore quite thick. I'm not sure yet if I'm really into it, and I don't know yet what I might make of it.
Anyways, free fabric is always fabulous!
WTG, on the stash score but, but, but, I want to see pictures of the poultry!

Hehe, poultry are good! They aren't my designs, so I'm not sure I feel I can post them here, but here http://www.haugesund-teater.no/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/fim_photos.php?album=honk are some pictures!

The costumes are excellent! Leftovers are the best thing about working in costume production. One production I worked on had huge leftover scraps of beautifully dyed Italian mohair wool that went for $150.00 a yard!
