Loving My Creative Life

Look what leaving your husband can do for you.......

Sugar, The Musical:


My return to the stage after 13 years.

Suessical:




JoJo....and yes, she was a girl in this production....




Our bird girls! Loved these outfits, and the day after this, we dyed all their shoes orange with my brand new washing machine (the other one died)

And here's the Amazing Mayzee!


From the back for privacy reasons; the same reasons that see my lovely kids with lime green squares over their faces in the other picture......

Horton! Best ever ears.....(not made by me)



Mayor and Mayoress of Whoville
We had so much fun with these costumes....

Then there was........

 Wicked!

I was just a backstage type..... but here are my charges...


The Tin Man

The winged monkeys.....



Look at these guys!!!! <3 p="">






































Herself in her insignificance, posing in front of the Emerald City...............


Finally: Pirates of Penzance.
This is the first act set which I oainted from scratch. My colleague is adding a boat.


This is the second act ruined chapel, which my partner did. Except for the crappy tombstones. they were all my own work :-(


I must have painted and repainted these guys 5 times!

Here's the first incarnation, when my aging techniques rendered them utter unreadable from a distacne.



And here's a final version of one of them.


So now I am officially 'show free' until after my trip to the UK.
What, wait....I didn't tell you about my overseas trip??????
Stay tuned....
