Play set....

[laurooa.livejournal.com]

I have just recently figured out how to post pictures up here, so you guys will most likely be seeing alot of my stuff.......Here are a bunch of pictures of things i have done recently and a while back... Hope you like them.
.....My schools drama class did a production called “meet the creeps” It was basically a spin off of the Adams family....You know with witches pirates and funny gags the whole way throw. It was a blast to work with all of these guys....I was in charge of the sets and costumes...These are just a few of the things i made for the play....This play was so right up my ally... Most of the things i brought in for the set were from my room...I didn’t have to buy much of anything for it... Which was great for the drama budget.

This was “aunt Wichita” who was a screaming violet old witch who had been dead for about a century...aunt Wichita was basically a painting that could talk and would pop out in the middle of no where and giver her 2-cents on something....So instead of just having her be behind a picture frame the whole time, which would be a little boring and she would have to stand for like 2 hours.... I drew a charcoal picture of her to put in the farm which hinged to the flat that was the back drop, That way she could open and slam it closed when ever she liked....Turned out to be a riot with the crowd...She was a hoot and a hoar!
Another funny part of the play was suppose to be a talking clock.... that instead of dinging every hour screamed. I made this out of basic foam bored...I got it for free from a salvage yard... and just painted it and duct-taped it behind a fake fire place.... The face was hinged and was held up by Velcro....The poor boy who played the part was the meekest boy I've ever meet! I had to work with him for like 4 days straight to get him to scream right....I’ve never meet someone who couldn't scream properly until i meet him.


This is just one corner of the stage.....The thing mounted on the wall....Is a dragon head. I made him out of tinfoil with starched fabric pined around the tinfoil form. he was wonderful....His eyes are actually HUGE red beads and from a distance the holds in the beads look like the center of his eyes. During set changed in the play i would run out there and move the eyes a bit (they were stuck to giant t-pins that way they could be moved) so it looked like he kept changing... Also in the picture that bench i made and painted to look like stone.... It matched really good with all of the gargoyles i brought to fill the stage with.... I don’t have a picture of it but i made a Gigantic gargoyle to put on the end of stage in the “garden” It was about 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide counting his wings. It was made the same way as the dragon head and only ended up costing around 5 dollars to make. I used a large cardboard box for the main base and wire to make his wings ... He was made with grey fabric and i took spray paint after the starch was dry and darkened it to look like stone. The drama teacher loved all of my work and told me if i don’t continue to make all of the sets until I'm out of high school she will fail me horribly!.. So i guess i’m stuck.
This is a card i made a friend of mine for there birthday..... It is a fairy painted in watercolor and real butterfly wings....I also made a hand made card with some more butterfly wings on it but didn't’ happen to get a picture before giving it away. Hope you like....
these are 2 more cakes i have done for past birthdays.... They were hits at school... The cakes themselves were only about 5 inches wide, that way i could take them into school and leave them in there lockers.

These are 2 painting i gave my sister for Christmas last year...Her living room is done in blue and so is her kitchen that way she could put them where ever she wanted....they are watercolor.
Sorry this was such a very large post... !
