Costume Jewelry to SHOUT About!
The costume jewelry for SHOUT! is just about done! We have a meet n' greet at Zehrs Grocery in Orangeville tomorrow - in costume! - and I wanted to finish as much as I could so I can give the ladies some options on accessories. I would like to make a few more than what I have here for each character, but funds are tight nowadays and so is time - curtain's in under a month! We're still in the process of dealing with the finer details in the costumes themselves, which will be showstopping! A few details have changed in the accessories, as well - instead of clip-on earrings, they'll have earwires; I couldn't find silver clip-ons for the life of me, and was concerned about their hold during our dance numbers. I won't be putting magnet clasps on the necklaces, either - again, funds are tight nowadays! A lobster clasp will be used for the necklaces; still has that same security when dancing around. Let's check out what we have!
The Green Girl (that's me!) Matching lampwork glass in coin and tube beads made a great chunky bracelet, strung on stretch wire, with a pair of earrings to match! I had made a second pair with faceted acrylic beads for a costume change.

The SHOUT! Collection ... and a Discount Code!
Groovy! Fab! Cosmic! Swingin'! Celebrate the 'mod musings' of five groovy girls in '60s London, England, growing up in a time of changing attitudes towards gender as they discover the potential in their own lives and in each others'. Minis and go go boots, flower power and rainbows, big hair and bigger dreams, all set to a soundtrack of some of the greatest hits sung by Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Cilla Black, Shirley Bassey, and many more! It'll make you tilt your head back and Shout!
Playing The Green Girl in LP Stage Production's show has been a real inspirational experience for my jewelry design. Yummy! Not only do I have the chance to design the accessories for the costumes in the show, I made a few pieces for everyone to enjoy! This collection is inspired by my love of the bright colours and mod fashions in this exciting era of fashion. Yummy!
I also present a new discount code for you all to enjoy! In celebration of Shout! The Mod Musical, I present a 15% savings for you all to enjoy with the code 'SHOUT2011'. Check out the advert - made by yours truly! - that will be in our show's program!
Onward to the SHOUT! Collection!

SHOUT! The Mod Musical - Cast Picture!
Curtain's just under a month ... and we are so excited! We had a photo shoot at the Mad Hatter Pub in Orangeville in full costume - for the first time! Click here to visit my blog, The Pursuit, for details about the day!
I had a little fun with Picnik.com to give the photos a vintage '60s feel, with a little text flair. Whaddayathink?

SHOUT! in the Orangeville Citizen!
If you live in the Orangeville area, betcha you'll seen us in the Citizen! Click on the article to enlarge!
Blogger's note: On behalf of the reporter, I'd like to correct the names Josh Priess and Cassandra Watsham. Onward!
This picture was taken when we were goofing off at the piano between breaks, but we gave it our all with lots of gusto and photo-snapping! Maybe we'll get a chance to see the rest of the photos!

Design by Cassandra's Hitting the Stage!
Not only am I part of the cast of this swingin' number, I'll also be designing some groovy accessories for Shout! The Mod Musical!
The script has a specific costume and accessory list for each character, which is very handy. While cast and crew have haunted local thrift stores for '60's and '70's fashions, I've started designing some "smashing" pieces for the cast!
Liz's character, the Orange Girl, has a little infusion of purple in her costume. One piece of jewelry called for a string of purple pearls, and struck some luck with these glass beads with a pearl-like glow. I've still yet to size the necklace for Liz, and then will be attaching a magnet clasp for easy costume changes - no one wants to mess with a lobster clasp in the dark, nor have your necklace fall into your costume, especially during choreography!

Colour Inspirations For The SHOUT! Girls!
I have a rather large collection of beads that I've been amassing over the years.
"Oh, look! These are sooo pretty!" is no longer an excuse to buy beads. It's getting outta hand! I do stand by a credo of 'finishing everything on your plate', and I'll use them somehow. Maybe not directly in jewelry projects - my consideration for the Bead Soup Blog Party will be from this vast selection. I also thought I'd put together a collection of beads for my Shout! girls for colour inspiration during the 'great costume hunt'. The beads I had selected out of my stash had a vintage vibe to them, either being vintage themselves or having a 'mod' style. Take a look at what goodies I pulled together for the lovely ladies!
