| Working on Richard's coat |
That title is a snippet from Richard III's opening speech (the "Now is the winter of our discontent" one) and it describes this picture, taken in the costume workroom, well. I'm holding up a swath of the most glorious beaded fabric that will be on the right arm only of Richard's coat. I found that fabric (intended to be reminiscent of 15th-century chainmail) and that glorious iridescent green leather at Mood Fabric in NYC this summer. Also in the picture is Ruth, the head of the costume shop. She's great to work with and puts up with my whims and changes of mind. So glad she was on board with the leather collar's having an unfinished edge—unfinished is perfect for a guy like Richard III.
