Costume Craftwork on a Budget demonstrates how to use inexpensive materials to create durable costumes and props in a short amount of time. Fully illustrated step-by-step instructions teach readers how to use 3-D makeup and create teeth, wigs, masks, hats, nonhuman costumes, leather products, and other accessories.
This new edition features updated introductions for each chapter and project, expanded chapters on 3-D Makeup, Wigs, Masks, Headdresses, and Animal Costumes, and projects from shows such as Shrek the Musical (latex ears), Orphie & the Book of Heroes (headdresses), and Side Show (a lizard costume). From creating armor out of laundry baskets to detailed tricks for creating a witch's prosthetic nose, this book equips aspiring costume designers with the techniques needed to produce costumes and props that are beautiful, economical, and safe.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Praise for the first edition:
"Tan Huaixiang is a truly gifted artist; in this book she guides us through many complex theatrical projects that are inspiring, clever, and budget sensible. Her many samples offer excellent tips regarding the use of materials and her choice of graphics illustrates processes clearly. She has created something truly versatile. This book can be used as a textbook in a stagecraft class and it can also be a beautiful reference book in a designer/technician's library. This is a must for all costume designers and technicians."
Rafael Jaen, author of Show Case and Digital Costume Design and Collaboration
