It´s been such a long time since the last time I posted, you´d think I´d taken time off for the summer! In many ways, I guess that is true. Visits from friends and family, a few smaller trips here and there, days of sun and days of rain. But also days of working. The past weeks I´ve worked on the costume design for Peter Pan. The show doesn´t open until January 2017, but since I am also in charge of the production, I´m already a bit late. I actually started the sewing a little bit tonight. Peter Pan himself will be getting a little vest, made from leaves and frog-skins. The leaves are fake, but the frogs are real! I got them from Thailand. All the things you can get on eBay, it´s amazing! This is just the beginning of the vest, still lots of details missing. But it sure felt good to finally get started!
How´s your summer? Are you relaxing or being productive?
Cool. The only frogs I’ve seen are tiny ones in a lake just north of us. My brother gave me a net to try to catch them — they were so tiny that they slipped right through the holes, but it was fun to chase them, feeling like a child again. In a nutshell, that’s just about as good an example as any of how productive I’ve been this summer, lol.
