Failing better

Since last time:

I made thirty children into lords and ladies.
I took many pictures of that process, and never posted them.  There was going to be an epic slideshow.
I have been navigating my way round the greyish world of Sarah Kane.
I will be trailblazing a look called "Tesla Punk" in April.
I solidified some serious puppet time for May and June and couldn't be more excited.

Rather than completely recap, I'm just going to start from where I am.  I am waiting for water to boil so I can dye some elastic yellow.  So I can start wrapping this silk dress in silk strips, which will be ripped off of C. I've been attempting to tackle this "problem" of my costume design for the past forty-eight hours.  My previous solution was just to sleep.  That is no longer an option.  I have a deadline for this test run.

I know I have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew, but I wonder about the practicality of my ideas this time.  I find myself wondering, Can I pull this off?  I know I can.  I just wonder how many times I have to fail before I get the product I want.

Here's to a night of failing.  And then failing better.

(I believe there will be a sequel to this post very soon...)
