Agh it turns out I posted my previous post to my other blog!

Here's what it was supposed to be:

I'm in the process of getting ready to move to Dublin in the fall so I thought why not go ahead and have my commemorative piece be about there and how incredible it is? I've been inspired by the rainbow bright colors of downtown and by the iconic bridges, everyone knows and loves.

SNOW DAYYYZ

Luckily I've been deathly ill and our snow days cancelled class that I may have missed due to being ill.. Just lucky perhaps! But there is an upside to the snow...!

The Countess Part 2

The show opens this week! February 25th through March 1st! I'm Wardrobe Chief (here's my wardrobe crew) for the production and have been killing myself to get this show up and running smoothly so lets see how it goes!
Happy Tech, everyone!

AND THEN it, like a jumping-bean, flaked off... So confusing.

Project Sketch 1

So here was my idea, sketched out. I wanted to incorporate the bridges in my design because there's so many of them and I just love the Isle of Dublin with this massive river running through it. And I wanted to incorporate the bright and beautiful buildings that encompass the temple bar district.
