Design showcase
My "design-to-rent" contract with Master Arts Theatre in Grand Rapids, MI gave me an opportunity to create many new Biblical costumes that are now part of my collection.
Note: The peach/rose costume was worn by an extra in Season 6 of The Chosen. View Design Showcase.

Magi
The director, Timothy Van Bruggen, asked for the Magi biblical costumes to be styled after Zoroastrian historic ceremonial clothing - all white, with a gold sash and "upward arrow" motif.

Citizens
I wanted to provide a cohesive look for women's dance scene, so I used a muted color palate. To add visual interest, I added textured overlays and created a variety of headwear designs.

John the Baptist
This tattered burlap tunic, with skin overlay and belt contribute to the wild and beaten down look of John in prison.

Roman soldiers
I purchased the metal Roman helmets and made new red tunics. The armor and capes belonged to Master Arts Theatre, so I still plan to make new leather armor for my own collection. I specifically want to create a complete "Armor of God" costume that can be rented out for Children's programs.
