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!

The Countess! Part 1

So I've been working MERCILESSLY on the Countess, having to scenic paint at 8am every MWF regardless of snow because well, the show is happening regardless of snow. So through a sinus infection and an upper respiratory infection, I've been doing this:

 


Here's my almost finished rocks- just have to finish the grout!

 Here's the marbling up close!

And this is the fire place almost finished!

Project Sketch 2

So then I talked to one of the advanced students and she helped set me in a better direction. I'm abstracting my piece a little bit and incorporating the graffti art thats in the town, mainly in the Temple Bar district of Dublin.

I also wanted to include the Dub Linn with the line patterned grass field.

Mystery "Enamel"?

one of the professors in the Art department came by with what they thought was enamel.....

Having not fired this for very long and having prepared all of the things correctly.. This happened.
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. 

Blue and Gold?

Test tiles! Peacock Blue and the back is just the grey counter enamel but in this picture it looks a little gold awkwardly enough.

oh Hey! I'm enameling!

 Workspace!

This is what Peacock Blue looks like right out of the kiln.

24 Hour Play Festival

This weekend I was somehow involved with the 24 Hour Play Festival and became the Food and beverage/meal coordinator, script reader/filler coordinator, the SM for not one but two shows, the costume consultant for the event and Front of House staff. And we managed to produce 7 really great shows in the span of 24 hours. How? No idea. Just a lot of coffee.
