Autumnal Inspiration

Inspiration for Autumnal Crafts:


Amenity


Terrain

Sure, you could buy these but I think they would be more fun to make! Instead of costly Alpaca wool for the pillows I'll probably use felt for a similar look and I might hit up the Met costume shop for some srap velvet to make an assortment of stuffed pumkins.

A wee glimpse

Please enjoy this video of Candice Thompson discussing designing the costumes for Nightmare: Superstitions! Oh, and you catch a wee glimpse of myself in the cat-hat and Bloody Mary...

Happy Weekend!

Hooray Nightmare: Superstitions is officially open and I am officially done! It was super fun and sparked my creativity in new ways, but... it was a lot of work. Tomorrow I am going to really enjoy my first day off in three weeks. Have a great weekend everybody!

Dress rehearsals are scary...

...literally. The Haunted House opens tomorrow! Here are a few pics from the dress rehearsal:

Bloody Mary's get their gore on!


Penny Man waits to grab a guest!


Camera Man steals your soul!

Step on a crack...

... break your mother's back!

Monks Robes

Hey guys! I've been pretty busy lately sewing like crazy for the Haunted House and working at Esprit. On Sunday I got to be an employee "model" at an Esprit event in the Time Warner Center/ Columbus Circle. I got to dress up and get my makeup done!



Also, here is a muslin of some scary monks robes Im making for the "Friday the 13th" room in the Haunted House. Eric has been a great living mannequin for me!

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary...

Beginnings of the "Bloody Mary" dress for the Haunted House!

Haunted House

New project! Im helping out my friend Candice who is designing the costumes for this super scary Haunted House! I spent the day buying scrubs, lab coats, and various medical supplies. I can wait to bloody them up! Muhahahaha!
