Hey all! A lot has been going on in my life, between piecing together commission and part-time work, getting ready to move to a new place, and continuing to do what I can to make a difference and educate myself, so as a result I've had little time for social media. A big part of continuing to show support for the Black community is with your dollars, especially since it seems a lot of people in the US will pay attention to how people spend their money in the economy if nothing else. Make a recurring donation, however small to a local organization and switch to buying products from Black-owned businesses. Swipe to see a list of links to online marketplaces and businesses that are Black-owned!
I've had little time for my own projects, but since I missed posting for the #Hamilfilm release on Friday, here's my almost finalized mockup for my Hamilton uniform! This has gone through a couple mockups, if you swipe through to the photos at the end you can see what the first mockup looks like and the transferring of my corrections to the pattern. There are some fit issues through the back when I'm wearing it, but it's almost there!
I started with an 18th century drafting plate based on a museum piece, but modified so much that it barely resembles the original, like the sleeve cap and armscye which are modernized in the show for comfort and ease of movement. I'm hoping to start on the real thing soon, that is, after I take hundreds of HD screenshots and triple check everything 😆
