Welcome!

This is a blog composed of journal responses to my Costume Lab course with Peter Harrigan. Many of the journal entries were scribbled down right after a class ended, and without dates (oops). So in order for this to make sense, I have grouped them together in terms of project and created a more cohesive and flowing document. Over the semester I worked on a variety of projects, starting with simpler creations such as a puppet. By the end, I had made a puppet, a quilt, costumes based on the Angry Bird game, the apple logo, aprons, a light up shirt, and African dance pants. I also worked within the costume shop and costume storage unit to clean, organize and paint. This was a light semester for costumes in the main stage show, so we spent a lot of time organizing and cleaning the costume lab. The journals on these days are very short and and some are as simple as  "I cleaned", so they are not included in this compilation. I hope this gives you a look into the world of the Costume Shop and what it is like to create show pieces.

Enjoy!
