Once upon a time, through a series of events and knowing people, I was asked to do a couple costumes for the Moulin Rouge production at a nearby highschool.
I can't really say I designed these. My job was to copy the movie's costuming as much as possible. And make them high-school appropriate. They turned out good. And the highschool actors did a great job.

On the eve of the eve of the eve of the eve of the day of sending in my portfolio to the school to which I am applying to continue my insanity at, I have a list of things in my sketchbook yet to be completed, and only one day off work. And here I sit, considering whether to draw or paint, or cut, or just sit, or maybe even sleep, and I find myself wanting to share another project.

It was another Thursday at work, and I received a text from a friend inquiring as to whether I'd be going dancing that night, and whether I'd made a hat for the occasion. The answer to the first question was yes, and the answer to the second question was a "whut." Because of the Alice movie (don't get me started....), our favorite venue had established this particular night as Mad Hat night. So I came home from work with one idea, got sick of it, and instead started playing with netting and ribbon. And this is the puff that I wore on my head for the dance.
