Projects Abound
It appears I have failed to bring my camera cord in with me, so no new photos shall be posted today. Said photos include a rainy day drive out to the far leeward side of the island...literally to the point where the road ended. I'll write more of it when I have my pictures downloaded.
Also included were photos of the newly completed Pono version 3.2.1
The eyes turned out beautifully from the embroiderer and given the limited feedback I received from my last prototype, I may finally be on the verge of wrapping this project up. Unfortunately the woman who commissioned the project stood me up for our meeting today, despite my attempts to contact her via phone. The follow through on this island never ceases to amaze me.
The Trash to Fashion pieces (yes, pieces) have moved beyond the conceptual stage. I've ideas blocked out for three garments. Two have been sketched. And a trip to Walmart today supplied me with the tapes and trash bags I needed to supplement my already bountiful selection of found objects. My major obstacle at the moment is how to treat some tropical yard waste to maintain the lush color it currently has. I'm sure smaller construction oriented problems will arise I as, oh, try to stabilize paper napkins, duct tape trash bags, coffee and tea dye paper plates or melt and reform plastic cutlery. That and I haven't found a rake I like for an Elizabethan whisk on one of the garments. What ever happened to all of the beautifully curved metal rakes out there? We are awash with plastic...
And in my antsy desire to give myself absolutely no free time by staying busy beyond the sanity of a normal human being, I've begun perusing posting on Craigslist for creative gigs. As a result I am now the costume designer on a 10-15 minute film short. And possibly an extra in a longer feature. Both are planned to be submitted to a variety of film festivals...both locally and outbound. No pay, of course, but I do have a stable job after all. I can afford to flex my creative fingers a bit and scratch the itch that paid jobs often fail to satisfy. Sad to say...considering I work within the creative field...

What kind of tropical yard waste is it? Martha says you can preserve leaves by letting them such up some glycerine...
