Links and a Welcome to PRC Patrons!
Sep. 24th, 2007 10:53 amWow, are we super-busy gearing up for the season opener, Romeo and Juliet. I haven't had time to post anything much, and what i AM working on can't be posted until the show's up because it would be "spoilers" for some of the play. (I don't mean that one can spoil a Shakespeare play to which everyone knows the ending, i mean that many of the crafts projects are really striking visuals which i don't want to spoil for viewers.) Once the play's up and running, I promise i'll post about all the fun hats and jewelry and crazy fabric treatments i've been working on!
Which brings me to an exciting announcement: La Bricoleuse is now linked from the PlayMakers Repertory Company official page, in a new section called "Behind the Scenes"--welcome, PRC patrons, to my readership!
If you are a new reader surfing here from that link, i should explain that you'll find only La Bricoleuse posts with the "playmakers" tag. If you want to read more posts on non-PRC topics (reviews of costuming texts and products, posts from my summer at the Utah Shakespearean Festival, images of projects by the students in my graduate seminars on costume crafts artisanship, etc.), you can click on other subject tags down the sidebar or click on the masthead and read all the recent posts in reverse-chronological order. Again, welcome, and see you on Opening Night!
So, while Romeo and Juliet craftwork posts will have to wait one more week, here are a few topical links:

pinkveneer pointed me toward the excellent shibori blog, Shibori Girl, featuring beautiful photographs of the artist's work.
Jill's World of Research, Reaction, and Millinery is another great blog written by a Texas milliner and librarian. Her writing is fun and chatty, and her millinery images and links are great!
Mystery-Braid leather instructions show how to do those "magically" braided bracelets and belts and other straps with the triple-sliced single strap.
And, if you don't know about Craft Magazine, you should check it out. Some of the projects are dorky, but there are often a handful of great ones as well--this month features a piece on how to make a Carmen Miranda-style fruit-topped showgirl headdress!
