This Collaboration is to centralize conversation and progression of costumes I - with whomever would like to participate - am making for TeaFaerie and LizzieMackie, which they will then use in some kind of performance piece that they will RECord and present for the enjoyment of all! And then who knows what they'll be remixed into!
Just so you know what you're working with, my website is: www.SarahJennyDesigns.com and I have 18 years professional experience and 2 degrees. (I mention that to give you confidence in my methods, not to brag or be controlling.)
For those of you who don't know, TeaFaerie is a firespinner/flow artist and LizzieMackie is a dancer. It is their records of their talents and individual styles that have inspired me to suggest this collaboration to them. Lucky for me, they agreed to play dressup!
But this is NOT a closed collaboration. It does have a goal that involves specific members. But it's meant to be fun. Aaaand...
Part of the purpose of doing this as a collaboration on the site, instead of through emails - which is how I normally work with long distance projects - is so that any other sewers/designers out there who might like to design things for various projects on HitRECord can see some of the tricks I use for long-distance fittings and fabric selection, etc. Because I'm sure alot of you sew, but you might be hesitant to try to sew something for someone on the other side of the world. So hopefully seeing that it IS possible to custom fit, from a distance, will inspire others to use that talent for HitRECord projects as well! Because some productions do fine with jeans and a tshirt, but others might benefit from costumes that have been planned/made just for that story/setting, etc. Especially as HitRECord progresses toward more "professional" productions, it's important that we all feel like we can give ALL of our individual abilities to our projects.
But really this is just for fun right now! So we'll start with these two costumes, and see what the results inspire!
OK ladies, please press REC when you're ready to start!
