Kyle Adams’ Grantaire is having me spend hundreds of dollars i literally don’t have
I saw Les Mis last week from good seats but I’m seeing it Again in May in those front row seats on the sides that have an obstructed view (bc I really only need to see stage right to get a good view of R ❤️)
AND as soon as I get new glasses I’m getting a rush ticket bc then it doesn’t matter where I sit
Anyways he’s literally the best Grantaire ever so I will do what I must
right so i haven’t posted on this hellsite since 2020 and probably haven’t thought about this particular thing in a decade but i fell into a time machine and came out my 2014 self to say why was there ACTUAL E/R in this performance of les mis i just saw 😦
I tip my hat. you did your homework my friend. You did your homework. You know who you are.
So, I’ve been thinking a lot about the fact that John and Samantha are leaving this summer and since they’re two of the people I’ve been attached to the longest in the Broadway (and Toronto) casts, I’d like to do something nice for them before they go. So, I thought I’d bring these back. ^_^ Only, I realized that while I already had a Grantaire pattern, I never made a Cosette one! (Or a Marius, Eponine, Gavroche, Valjean, Javert, or Bishop for that matter.) So, I enlisted ravenclawfeuilly‘s help once again, and put this together. ^_^
Cosette
So, I was actually torn about how to design Cosette’s plaid. I knew I wanted to draw the color palette from her 25th anniversary costume, because I really love that costume, but beyond that, I wasn’t sure. So, I went hunting for pictures and pulled color palettes out of them. I really liked the muted one (though I wasn’t expecting it to be so muted because that dress is such a vibrant blue on stage!) and it reminded me very much of the lark that Cosette is often compared to, but those muted colors didn’t seem appropriate for Cosette, especially as she’s played by Sam. So, I found a different picture and drew out the above color palette and I like that one much better. Cosette always reads as spring and joy and brightness and laughter to me and so does this palette. So, there we go! ^_^
...now I just need to find time to buy yarn and make them! ;D
Some day I think I might make the first, more muted palette scarf for myself, though. Because I kind of really like it. ^_^ I’ll also make a proper post for irenicalarts when I’m in the right mood to make a more professional sounding one. ^_~
