What did you teach?!

I'm a set and costume designer. I taught set and costume design, costume history and painting techniques for the stage. The last 17 years at the Theatre Dept. of the University of Connecticut in Storrs. If there is one thing I miss in my retirement is my students.

How interesting and fun! I'm an english major (graduating this May)! I'd like to do publishing/editing and eventually write & illustrate my own line of kids' books.

I'll bet you have created some really great art pieces. Love to see some pics of them *hint hint*.

Albea,

Maybe you could design something for our pets. I bet most of them would love a new look instead of that "Elizabethan collar" the vet provides. The PetTalk group would be a great bunch to test your designs!

[Albea]

There is another kind of "elizabethan collar," the authentic one, that is like a big, stiff ruffle made of horse hair (it's called that but is really a synthetic material) The kids will certainly look cuter with a ruffle around their necks, instead of that cone you get at the vets. However, as much as I would like to make a couple for our Pet Talk buddies, it's not possible right now. How about sending you a diagram so you learn how to make it?
