MY GALLERY IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.....

Trunchbull from Matilda

Beast's wig, hands and toes are made from macrame yarn and two synthetic ladies wigs wefted together. I carved tusks out if wine corks, finger and toe nails too. The horns are stuffed sections of pantyhose. His coat is a heavy drape, lined with satin with hidden velcro for the quick change.

Belle's dress is a damaged strapless prom dress that I found on eBay. I added godets to make it fuller and a sheer curtain overlay. The bodice overlay is sheer stretch netting with gold metallic accents and heavy satin.

This elephant was made from a garment rack, cardboard boxes and misprinted t-shirts... we had NO budget. But he was the hit of the show. This photo shows my little girl goofing around with him on the stage. We've lost the production photos of him, sadly, but I do have several photos of his construction. I still have people ask me about him. I had to tear him apart because I needed the garment rack. But we saved his tusks (pool noodles & white duct tape) and they reside in my husband's office.

The Humpty Dumpty was a challenge because we had no budget to buy foam. I made him from a egg crate mattress. His shoes are actually egg cartons covered in fabric. Irony.

The first show I directed. We had no budget, so most of the costumes were made out of draperies. I hand crocheted the snoods for the princess' hair to make up for the fact that i was making them wear kitchen curtains, haha!

The first show I directed. I made this queen's dress out of a bedspread I found at a thrift shop. The lederhosen were made from the velvet underside of a placemat and the curls are just kitchen twine.

The first show I directed. The queen's dress is a bedspread from thrift shop and the queen's sister's dress is two curtains with another curtain as an apron.

This is the first show I directed. The princess dresses were made from a large set of curtains that I was lucky enough to find at a yard sale. They have petticoats of sheer ruffled curtains underneath. The bed is hollow...the mattresses are egg cartons with fabric stretched over them. My daughter was inside there...she brought the bed out on her back. No budget=use what you have~!

These four guys were a hit during this show. I made them from a fleece blanket and felt with wire tails. They have weighted bottoms and are on 36" sticks. They have been sold.
