anotheranonThis afternoon I got a call from my friend G. G., among other things, works in television production and was taking a break from cleaning up after a shoot.
She called to tell me that they had a lot of "yellow and red silk" left over from decorating the set. It was free if I could come get it, and was I interested?
Was I interested....;)
G. understated her case somewhat - there was, I swear, a metric buttload of fabric, far more diverse/voluminous than the red and yellow she mentioned. I'm going to need to pick through most of it to remove staples and wood splinters (these were backdrops, after all). Haven't had a chance to go through all of it but I'm most impressed so far with the ~8 yards of burgundy silk/poly drapes. They're crying out to be an Elizabethan (or 16th century Spanish?) though they're a bit slubby (not period, AFAIK) I'm strongly urged not to care just because the fabric and weight (fully lined!) are so wonderful!
Shiny shiny shiny....
