gwendolyngrey | Fairytale Costumes at LAST!

I've been going on about a set of fairytale costumes I was making for my senior project for the last eight or so months. There have been very few pictures of my progress, but no more! I finally finished the last pieces early this week, and had a photoshoot of this project last night.

The photoshoot took place on the main stage here on campus, and I had a co-worker of mine (Jackie Garner) who is a photography major take the photos. She's still only a sophomore, but she does beautiful work, and I'm really happy with the pictures she took!

It feels incredibly relieving to be done with this project; I'm free now to pour my heart and soul into the REST of my senior project. No, I'm not done with it: there are the rest of the historical costumes to make and the correlating paintings to do and all the logistics surrounding organizing and putting on a show. I love my life sometimes. :)

All four of them! The maiden, the king, the queen, and the price.

I love all my models! Lynette was a wonderfully silly maiden, my brother Joseph modelled the king and kindly didn't object to being dressed in silk and puffy pants, Gill was the queen and soldiered on in spite of having a really bad cold, and Mike McCarty modelled the prince. It was so wonderful having people who all mean so much to me all there to help me with my wacky projects. Katie Jacobs was there too, and was invaluable for make-up and dressing!
