In the new tribemates thread, there was talk of a workshop. What kinds of things would you expect to get out of it? What would you hope to get out of it? Learning how to put a look together? Or mainly construction of different pieces?

I have been thinking about putting one together...there does seem to be a need. : )

    I could really use some 101 on building different types of costume pieces. I've been putting off making a big feathery headdress even though i really want one. I know I can do it but somehow it's intimidating. I would also like to know how to make good, full, fun tutus since the ones I make tend to be a but bland.

      How do you mean bland? Not very puffy, or just not interesting?

      I have made a few vegas type headdresses before. I Recently made a huge Indian headdress in turquoise and sequin....LOVED it!! : )

        That looks fantastic.

        My tutus tend to be not very puffy or interesting. I'm working on one now that will be more interesting but it is not a standard tutu.

              Oh me please!! I have been really wanting to make a vegas style headdress but am not wiulling to buy materials untill I am sure I know how to make one and have it look good, so let me know about the workshop if it happens.

                If there are a few more people I would certainly consider doing it.

                  Maybe if you created an event with the actual date etc. people would respond. What do you think?

                      I would be into something sooner.

                        If there aren't many others interested in this...the three of us could just get together!

                          Hey there...

                          I would be very interested in a workshop, but am wondering obviously about costs as costume making, materials, etc... are pricey. Would you do a focused workshop on a particular item, or on fundamentals... or??

                          Just wondering so I can plan to attend, and all that associated stuff!
                          Hmmm... I wish there was time before Halloween!

                          Cheers,
                          Dolphin.

                          PS: Sevda - if you ever want to talk barter for Pilates privates or massage... let me know!!

                            I guess to begin with, it would be what the majority wanted to focus on. There could be a series of workshops covering individual pieces.

                            What do you think a reasonable workshop fee would be? $100, $50? I guess it would depend on the piece being made. You are right about the costume cost being somewhat expensive. I think an average price, just for materials, for a vegas style headdress being around $100. Ostrich feathers are not cheap, but they are beautiful!

                              I thought I would post about a new creation that I designed. It could certainly be worked into a burlesque routine. I will post pics in the pic section with and without wings so you get a better idea.
