Pattern Piece

First I drafted the shape of the wing that looked like the costume rendering I had gotten from the Costume Designer.

Cut out pieces

Here are some of the cut out pieces of fabric. There were 3 layers of fabric to the wings.

Final wings

Had someone hold up the wings to photograph. There is plastic tubing inserted into channels I had sewn.

Mustardseed's Fairy Wings

for A Midsummer's Nights Dream

Inside Puppet Mouth

The mouth is what we start with. It is a cardboard circle cut in half. We added duct tape to make it one piece and used foam pieces for finger holes. the Foam was cut out after I made a paper template first. I used 3 layers of glue (the yellow) to hold it together.

Puppet Mouth

I lined the mouth with black fabric. THe front edges of the foam were glued right to the edge of the cardboard mouth piece.

Final Puppet

He has glasses I made of wire and a fosshape hat and fosshape side curls called peyas.

Foam "Muppet Style" Puppet head

The puppet was our final project where we learned to cut foam and shape it to glue it together. I chose to make an Orthodox Hassidic Jew puppet head.

Fake Food

I chose to make sushi rolls for my fake food project. I also made a lemon slice, ginger. and wasabi to go with it. The sushi has carrots, cucumbers, and crabmeat. The meat on the rice is salmon tuna and white fish. I also made green tea with food coloring and created a tea packet.

Sushi Process

The rice and raw fish were made out of clay, real uncooked rice was stuck and glued to it. I used foam to make the lemon slice and covered it with glue and paint. The ginger i made out of a fake flower petal with clear gloss spray paint. The wasabi was out of more clay and painted. I also made the wooded serving tray as well.

Immitation Crab Meat

I am most familiar with immitation crab meat, so i used foam pieces and painted them to look like the sushi I love to eat on campus.

Final Sushi

I found Japanese tea and made myself a tea packet. I also made a paste for soy sauce and dribbled it over my sushi rolls.
