First, let's clarify what's going on in the subject line. My aim is to have a variety of topic headings--Projects, Reviews, Product Spotlights, Interviews, etc.--with subdivisions as necessary. For example, Reviews might have subheadings like Books and Performances, and Projects is going to get broken down into a wide range, depending on the type of project discussed. In this case, it's "Hats, Helmets, & Headgear." Note my clever use of a hat icon, for a visual cue as well. :D
The first HH&H project feature is a crested roman helmet, for the Utah Shakespearean Festival's Summer 2006 production of Antony and Cleopatra.

The crest is secured into the support with 5 Chicago screws--this way we could take it out or replace it with a different type or color of crest fairly easily. I may have to sort out those splits in the front 1/3 of the crest, if the director or designer wants the whole thing pristine and uniform--conceptually, the designs for Anthony's forces is that they are distressed and battle-worn, so i left it splitty for now. All in all though, it turned out pretty good, if i do say so myself.
Just as a matter of course, the photo-posting policy of this blog is to cut-tag more than one photo, but to leave one visible outside of the cut. The uncut photograph will most often be an image of the finished project.
