glittery things

I'm making so many things look silver and gold for Giant Bones! This crown is reminiscent of the spears I made but don't like the photos of, so I am not putting them up yet. It's a little small for me--made to fit the actor's head. I hope, anyway....! Find out tonight and can (semi) easily fix if not.

I've been working on the instruments for "Giant Bones"--decorating them with metal leaf inlays. It's fun and I'm glad I learned a new skill--I'm not a master (it would take me many more hours of practice for that), but I the stuff will look great from stage.

Here are a few shots of the harp. I forgot to take photos of the guitars before handing them over to the actors--I had more phone with those, so I'll have to snap a few shots at the next rehearsal they all attend.

Ochlos

Tonight (and every Monday or sometimes Sunday evening), I met with the other participants of the Ochlos Theatre Lab. The pieces we are working on are heavy subject matter--Andrea Hart is writing about some serious issues and the 4 of us are diving in. Location of performance will likely be a house space, if we are lucky, where we can stage a performance that travels from room to room and even out in the garden. It was a hard day, in general, but I always enjoy sharing the end of it with the other women participating. Pot-luck dinner and some serious work and (serious or not serious) discussion with the others makes my Mondays a little more OK, I have to say.
