First design run was last night and everyone had costumes on! These are the basic tunics. They are almost all done -- I still need to stitch elastic for some people and I am going to screen print roman borders on the bottom of some people's tunics.
Fourteen different color tunics look pretty impressive when they all stand next too each other. My one concern is that it looks a little bit colorful for a tragedy but that should be solved by accessories.
In other news, I bought leather on Monday from a huge warehouse in San Francisco. It's called S & H Franks and people should check it out if they get a chance because it was amazing. There is now a huge role of cow hides sitting in my room.
That same day I drove down to San Jose and bought a 12' tall by 18" wide column drum so it was a full and exciting day of Julius Caesar.
This weekend my assistant costume designers will be making the leather into armor and I think it is going to be amazing. Meanwhile, I will be trying to do a marble treatment on plywood.
