The Nightshift Before Christmas, Costumes Designed by: David Arevalo, Alley Theatre This wreath lived on stage to look like an advent wreath that the actor was then able to pick up and wear on her head. This was a collaboration with lighting to make the candles light up. It was built on an adjustable hard hat base(the main actress and understudy had different size heads). There were supports built for the candles that were made from pvc pipe which my assistant painted. Photo by: Lynn Lane

Ken Ludwig's Baskerville, Costumes Designed by Sarah Cubbage, The Alley Theatre This is a felt hat pulled and then bird built for front. The head is a plastic bird head that was covered in feathers and the wings were built from a wired shape and layered feathers. The character is supposed to look like she is in the wind so the feathers were curled and attached so that they would move as she walked. I also made wired cape ties to attach to the cape to look wind swept.
