Fabrics applied to costume
Metalic Goldy green and bronze
Matt, deep green finish
Metallic, turquoise and gold finishI have trialed several paint effects in response to my sample fabrics. The material swatches vary between a matt, sea green and a bright, metallic turquoise. Having spoken with the costume student, I have added gold highlights to the peek of the scales. She has altered the original costume design to incorporate a dark red belly dancing skirt, with gold coins attached. To match her scale print fabric, the groves between the scales should be deep green to black, whilst the Goldy green I have mixed up on my third paint test matches the sea green, more tweedy fabric. I feel that my paint sample shown at the top does not work as there are too many, clearly defined tones that do not blend together. The metallic sample shown at the bottom is the most effective as I have started to blend the layers of green together using a sponge.
