Adventures Under the Sea: Sequins and Tulle and Glitter, oh my!

I'm not physically creative. What I mean by that is arts and crafts are not in my forte. When I draw a person, its usually a stick figure and my trees are the only things that resemble their real life counterparts. Yet, I found myself helping create some of the costumes last week. Due to some artistic changes Kivan and the costume director Julia made, it was necessary that a few extra hands were needed to help finish them on time. We spent several hours with glue guns in our hands, sticking "scales" onto t-shirts in what I hope is a fishy way. Some things we found worked and some things didn't, just like in every aspect of life. We came up with a way to make some scales look super cool by sticking some sparkly tulle over it. And I personally learned that tulle is literally the worst thing to hot glue in the world. Seriously. The hot glue seeps through the tiny holes and sticks to your fingers, causing your fingers to get hot glued to the tulle and extra, horribly painful seconds are added on while you peel your fingers off. I still have a blister on my thumb, but I like to think of it as my battle scar. All in all, it was a pretty interesting thing to add to my list of newly learned skills. I'm not saying I should be hired, but if you need someone to cut and glue things, I'm your girl.
