I am making the crowns out of pipe cleaners and beads and craft foam. The first thing I did was play with the pipe cleaners and beads, putting them together with floral tape. I am thinking this will be the evil queen, step-mother crown.
Here are all 5 crowns- I put some designs on them with dimensional fabric paint. This is my “spray booth”- outside in a cardboard box. Only one has the beads and wire attached at this point.
Here they all are- gold and very smelly.
Next Tuesday is dress rehearsal, so I have one week to get everybody dressed! Things are going well on the costuming project- 72 kids, 3rd to 5th graders, most with 2 costumes. The hardest part is when we need to try things on. We called all the ladies-in-waiting and the narrators to stay for half an hour after rehearsal, to try on dresses- 28 exhausted girls, mobbing me. I am not good at this part of the project.
I am working on armor for one of the boys, and I’ll make the 5 crowns that we need. This is the most fun and creative part for me.
What I love about doing costumes- This is the only time in my life that I can play with fake flowers and metalic spray paint!
I’ll post pictures when there is anything together enough to show.

this is Mango horning in on the picture taking…
I have found out that doll bases (what I have called the thing that holds up my dolls) and doll stands are completely different. I found this out by doing a google search.
Doll bases are an unfinished doll form- a blank- to make your own doll on. Most of the ones I found by googling were computer generated- lots of naked, hairless barbie-type girls and also a full range of anime type figures, aliens, or probably anything anyone would want. See some here and here.
I sold “Skye” while I was at WOW. She is on her way to live in Managua, Nicaragua. Thanks Titu!
I spent Sunday and Monday Painting Topsy. We had a bigger class then Miss Columbia. It is fun to see all the personalities.
This was a great class with Susan Fosnot and I learned a lot about oil painting. I am sure I would be confident enough to try it on my own now.
I am really glad to be home… I am exhausted!
what I get for email, now that I am working as a costume coordinator-
“Mrs. A told us on Tuesday that all the knights will be forest animals too…”
