Mummers related project
Outside web and graphic designing, I was recently asked in developing a project for scenery that will be used in the 2010 Philadelphia Mummers Parade. Being a Mummer and helping out on Greater Overbrook String Band’s website, developing PhillyMummers.com, and helping out with the Save the Mummers. I have felt this is something worth sharing.
If you have seen our portfolio you are wondering why are there sequined up scarecrows and penguins . Those were all projects that were used for front car signs. Though the penguins never made it they still look good for the portfolio.
This is a step by step guide on how this time consuming project is going. This is something at least 2 people (pending on umbrella size and how intricate your design is.)
Materials: Lost of hot glue (Pending on the umbrella size), sequins (pending on umbrella size. I recommend getting some samples and try a size before purchasing), and fabric (again pending on how fancy your design is)
This first step is big have an idea in place so you have an idea on colors and. I sketched out what I wanted. Then step two, I saw what I had laying around. Sometimes you get ideas from what you have laying around.
That’s all I have for right now, this story will continue with more step by step guides of what burns (yes playing with hot glue on very detailed work) and problems that you can run into.
