An old polyester resin piece that I cast myself many years ago. After working with metal and wood so closely, I'm starting to rediscover plastic. I can see why it was invented and what an exciting material it must have been when it first came out.
Materials: hand cast plastic, rayon ribbon.

Watched "The Great Zeigfeld" yesterday, which I will recommend to any drag queen, the costumes and the sets were just wild. I really enjoyed it and found it very inspiring design wise. One of the things that caught my eye was a simple backdrop of cellophane that covered the entire stage. There was a lot of fascination with this material in the 20's and 30's, and so it will always evoke the modern age for me. I thought a cellophane tribute would be nice, this is actually plastic, but a good stand in anyway.
Materials:plastic, acrylic cord, ribbon, glass beads.
