Eurydice

For Eurydice, I was tasked with beading Orpheus’ raincoat to create the effect of water dripping down with the beads. For this, I got the opportunity to explore the most effective ways to bead that read well from both up close and far away. The beading was done with 5 colors of beads that are the same size and used distance to make the look of water dripping.

Stupid Fucking Bird

For this show, I was tasked with making a duster for the character of Emma. This garment was cut before the show run, so it was never completed, however, it allowed me to work with many different techniques and materials. The first task was to dye the fabric to the previously selected color. This was one of my first experiences with dying and it taught me a lot about the process and gave me tools to use next time I do it. (Original color on the right final recreation next to it)

Velvet was not a material I had had the chance to work with much before, so making this showed me the ways that velvet can be both fun and difficult to work with.

I then made the lining which was a satin charmeuse and used the technique of bagging out to finish the sewing.
