Aprons and Apples

Another short project that I worked on with Samantha was creating the aprons worn during the nightmare scene in App-etite. This was a simple project for we had to create six aprons, and six Apple logos. The Apple logo we printed out and traced onto sparkly paper that had a sticky back. They were placed onto the aprons in the front center. The aprons were blue thin cotton that only had to be hemmed along the sides, and surged at the bottom. After completing the Angry Birds, this felt too easy to me as we found we could mass produce them by cutting multiples out from the fabric. The apples were stickers so we could just peel off the backs and stick them on the front.



The only snag in this project was during the portion where we put on the ribbon that went around the neck and tied in the back. We had two full rolls of light blue ribbon, but after the fourth realized that there still wasn't enough to cover all of them. Perhaps we could have made the ties in the back shorter, but we did not know the width of the person who would be wearing them so we went with a longer length. The last two aprons had a much thinner, frilly, blue ribbon that was found in the costume shop and while it did not look the same up close, when it was far away it worked just fine.

Overall, this was a costume that was onstage for probably a total of three minutes, but was necessary to the scene. I felt a little underwhelmed because it was so simple, but the whole semester seemed a little slow and I know it was just because of the play that had be created.
