Today I did a lot of dyeing to create the colours that I want for my designs (above is a photo of some of my samples). I think it is important that there is a good range of colours in my designs as I want the colours to be tonally similar in a way and yet I want each character to look unique. I have tried to create colours that look as though they are from that period whilst considering what the audience will be seeing as a whole, and at a later stage, the lighting used and how this affects the costumes. I really enjoy dyeing fabrics to create the colour that I want and I think this is a useful skill to develop. I think it is always important to consider the potential of a fabric. I have dyed a variety of textural fabrics, as because of the tones used differentiations can also be made with texture and weight. I know that many of my costumes will be hired, but for my designs I want to create an ideal outfit for each character and also this will ensure they will work as a whole. More particularly it will help me to choose the correct garments in the autumn term.
