Paint-splattered.

We're getting ready for Red. 

A job description I recently saw asked for experience in distressing & dyeing. Sarah knew she had some work left to do on the Red costumes so roped me in to learn & to splash.

Not that it was entirely sporadic. The costumes are designed for Rothko (who was known as being notoriously messy) & his assistant, Ken who (at the time of the play) had only been working with Rothko a few months. Their costumes have to reflect that fact. 

   This is where Lauren came in handy as we stood & looked at her work clothes to see where paint splashes tends to land on her & asked about where exactly she'd wipe her hands or catch her brush. 

We did have fun whilst we worked though. 

I ended up with blue soles and orange toes.

I walked by the costume rack in DR 1 earlier.
Looks a little funny compared to the norm, pre-Tech.

 
Meanwhile I have put back on my pattern hat from previous months. I am Medical Gown Specialist In Residence. 
   ~ So much for packing a pattern away & thinking, they'll not be needing that one in a hurry. Next to Normal is presently needing white gowns for patients, white gowns & caps for doctors; I'm all about it. 
  This time though, there's not so much sparkle nor feather nor BC's favourite "merachoochoo"  (that is to say, no 'marabou'). 


I've also been hemming a dress for a fellow intern friend. I've decided that "boutique" is actually French for "badly-sewn". Show me one single shop-bought fancy frock that actually has a hook & eye well-stitched in and designed to stay put and I'll .... I'll dance a jig! Because it disnae ever happen, I tell you!
