About
the Book:
Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage Illusions Made Easy
shows you how to design and
make costumes, props,
and
illusions that you never
thought possible.
Transform common people into superheroes, movie stars, knights,
witches – whatever illusion you want to create. Creative costuming
is all in the details. One garment can take on many totally different
looks depending on how you accessorize it. Successful costume
designer Barb Rogers haunted thrift shops, rummage sales, and
auctions in the hope of finding old clothes that could be converted
into costumes. In Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage
Illusions Made Easy she shows
you all the tricks about how you can turn leftover clothing
into over 100 costume designs.
The numerous photos and
diagrams in Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage
Illusions Made Easy explain in detail the costuming process of "turning
straw into gold." You'll learn how to accessorize your show
without starting from scratch. Great costume and accessory ideas covers:
• Full costumes
• Jackets and pants
• Costumes for children
• hats and headpieces
• masks
• collars, cuffs, and capes
• wings
• jewellery
• feet, shoes, and leggings
• and much more
The props section covers:
• armour
• thrones, crowns, and sceptres
• dinnerware
• and more
Finally, you'll love how her simple creativity can allow you to
create illusions such as a head on a platter or a person riding a
spider! Yes, you can easily do all this and at a minimum expense!
Costumes, Accessories, Props, and Stage Illusions Made Easy is
"must have" book for your library of costume ideas.
