 SPAMALOT

Here are a few pictures of some of the tabards and chainmaille  I made for CPCC Summer Theatre's production of Spamalot. Sadly the photo call was not all that I had hoped for, but I did get a couple of interesting shots.










With Lancelot's tabard you can see much of the detail  work which went into it. Also the fact that it had to quickly come apart, made for an interesting challenge. Because the designer wanted a lightweight chainmaille, I spent many days crocheting sleeves and hoods for the actors. But the final effect
was great. I even got my own round of applause at a
talk back, so I think it was considered a success. If I were to ever do it again, I would choose a different yarn which would hold up to the wear and tear of stage better. I was given the supplies and not asked my opinion so, you work with what you have.
