For my image of Lydia in Blue, I had just picked up these silk flowers at a garage sale for 50 cents. I went to my dress closet to look for a dress that would match. I have a closet of old dresses that friends have given me. I did that by creating a post on Facebook asking if anyone had old prom or bridesmaids dresses they wanted to get rid of. I ended up with a whole closet full. I found a dress with the perfect colors. The problem was Lydia is about a size 8 and the dress was a size 18! No worries, I made it work. I started with the dress upside down. I had Lydia step into the bodice and I pulled the skirt up over her shoulders, starting in the back, pulling, and stapling. Yes you heard it, stapling. Just be careful not to staple your models skin. You can do all kinds of things with tape and a stapler. Remember, your model doesn’t have to really wear it to the prom, she just has to wear in a photo. You can fake a lot of things for an image. 22
I created a leprechaun image when I first started my photography journey. I made leprechaun’s shoes with old tap shoes and a couple toilet paper rolls. I used brown duct tape and wrapped the shoes so they looked like long pointy toed shoes. I cut off the buckles from an old purse for shoe decor and attached velcro under the duct tape straps. The belts, well I couldn't find kids belts so I used regular adult size belts. I cut them down the back and sewed them together on the sewing machine so they were smaller. But you can use duct tape and staples. I used the fabric from old curtains to make ascots. I cut them up and wrapped it around their necks and tied it like a scarf. I bought the jackets at the thrift store. I first tried dying them with fabric dye but that didn't work. So, I resorted to spray paint. Then I washed them because I didn't want the children to be breathing toxic spray paint fumes. The spray-painted fabric actually washed pretty well. It was a little stiff. But the smell was gone. The knickers were sweat pants I cut off and used puffy paint to make a textured brocade pattern. So you see, you can take little things you have around the house and repurpose them. Staple them, paint them, go crazy! I can’t wait to see what you do with all those empty toilet paper rolls, cellophane or the stuffing out of old pillows. <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>2020</strong> 23
