Welcome

This is the blog of prop artisan, theatre BFA technical production student, crafting-art junkie, and a newbie cosplay costumer Moondancer Drake. I love learning new techniques whenever I can, and here is where I share what I am learning on campus and off whether it be costuming, prop related, millinery tidbits, or even puppertry. Enjoy!

Dangerous Liaisons - footstool build pt. 3

Now that the muslin is on come the final touches of adding the outer fabric and extras to make it pretty. We used the same upholstery fabric as we do later with the chairs since the fabric and accent shapes are suppose to match. I was nervous working with the very expensive fabric, but I found it easier and more forgiving to shape with than the muslin had been.


I thought we'd add some gimp or something to the final fabric, but we ended up not needing to do more then add a couple decretive tacks near the corner folds. I stapled the black fabric to to bottom (I had to do this a couple of times because of actors somehow sticking their hands through the bottom and tearing the fabric :0, but it was an easy fix) and they were ready to go.


(I will add the final show pics of the footstool here when I get them)
