Ideas....

I have completed my initial ideas for the costumes and set. I also have an idea about how both will work together as I think it is important that the cast use the set to their advantage in telling the tales. I am pleased with how my costume ideas are looking as a group as I want them to work together yet I don't want them to appear too similar in colours or silhouette. I intend to start planning how I am going to develop these ideas and how the actual designs will be realised. I want the costumes to have quite a rustic medieval feel therefore I think it might be interesting to use linen and experiment with dying samples to achieve unique and interesting colours. From my research I realised that many fabrics would have been dyed using vegetable dyes and that the poorer the person the less vibrant the colour. I will consider this when sampling for my final designs.
