The Heights set continued..

I have completed all the paper on the wall, I need to do a few more washes and pick out more particular pieces of paper. The floor still needs a few glazes of a thin leather lake wash and the bed needs painting.

The Heights set continued..

The back wall is nearly completed, all the paper is attached and two of the three entrances are complete. The suspended birds are in place and the free standing frame and bed entrance are built. It will take roughly 2/3 days to finish all the paint effects on the set and props.

The Heights set buildng...

The Heights Model continued..

I've worked into the texture and colour of the floor, added a cut out window to the back wall and developed the downstage narration area.

The Heights Model continued..

I have added a wall covered in layers of paper, developed the floor, which is still unfinished, i would like the floor to be more of a pale green/turquoise shade in the center, the bed still needs more work and will eventually resemble a more detailed frame, (cast iron look). There are still 3 more masks to complete and design elements of costume to accompany them.

The Heights model continued..

Model box continued, the set contains a bed, which characters can appear from within, a window frame that is on wheels enabling it to be moved around the stage. The frame also becomes a t.v screen and helps to create the landscape for other scenes.

Suspended from the ceiling are a flock of origami birds, that Lillie (the main character) has folded from her discarded pages of writing. Downstage hangs a washing line with pages of her stories pegged to it.
