Project Anew!

A couple years went by and I had a great amount of failure in collaborating with a costume designer. I think the issue was that I couldn't offer a reasonable amount of money upfront and was relying on a successful crowd sourced fundraising campaign before I could offer decent payment.

One day I was riding around Berkeley and went to the Albany Bulb to view the sculptures made of wood and garbage washed to the shore.

I was contemplating this project and specifically the silver space suit since it was the biggest problem in my plan. I was thinking how I basically wanted an Air Force style flight suit that was silver. And it hit me - I should buy a flight suit and recreate it with silver cloth... No, I should paint it silver!

So, that day I returned home and purchased a cheap flight suit and silver spray paint.

I got the paint first and tested it on some cloth.  It goes on nice and thick, but is a little messy even once it's dry. I tried sealing by dry ironing then washing it, which helps, but it still sheds glitter. I'm expecting it will be fine after one or two more washes.

More to come soon.
