Side Projects Cont...

Yesterday was extremely productive...for a day off. Not only did the woman I am patterning the Pono Dog for finally give me the go ahead to make the final dogs...I got to spend the whole day working on octopus and duck costumes. And had another game night...Iona had a fabulous write up in the Star Bulletin yesterday. Yup...that's the rubber duck sitting in the background of the article. This week I'm making her bustier and possibly finishing her headpiece. Also and the plate...an animal print corset for the octopus. Sound strange, but ever notice how many sea creatures have patterns resembling leopard's spots and zebra's stripes? Besides, the table this costume goes with is themes "Octopussy's Garden in the shade." A little cat print needed to be snuck in somewhere.

And Aladdin officially opens tonight. We've gotten some good press so far. I'm eager to see what reviews come out next week.
