Where has the time gone!
This term...oh sorry semester has just flown by! Panto was looking lovely and the floor was down and all the pieces of set were taken away to get fitted upi. We had a few last minuted bits and bobs to work on but it was a bit of a slow week. After my week with Irwin I managed to persuade uni to give me another week off to help her on her second show, sleeping beauty. The set for that show was even more beautiful than the previous one id worked on. It was the final week of painting before the show got fitted up in the theatre so it was a pretty full on week and there was never a moment of not doing anything. I was working on some gargoyles for the top of the organ and some candelabras which were covered in glitter! And I also helped Irwin paint the pros for the front of the stage. Im really looking forward to seeing it, gutted I couldn't make the dress as it was on at the same time as our panto dress.
Last week was a lot of watching the techs and dresses for panto and taking lots of photos, we had a few touch ups to do and one late night paint call but it was still very calm and relaxed and panto just seems to have sailed by this year, not at all like last year!
In our quiet week I managed to get my Van Gough painting finished and have also made a very good start on my Degas painting and hope to get that finished this afternoon!
I think we start on the Shakespeares this week. Then we have a trip to Pitlochry which should be good fun and on the final day of term I have a meeting with Cordelia to see the set for Opera 2 which im excited about, but as Gary said, it will either make or break my christmas holidays! Haha. Hopefully it will make and the set will have absolutely no bricks what so ever!
Next week i've arranged to work at the Lyceum for a week which should be interesting. Then a few days of relaxation with the family then its off to London for 2 weeks at the Royal opera House!
