Step 4

I started making the duct tape fabric today. My collaborator, a friend, and I got together during a rehearsal for a production of Les Miserables that we're in and started laying down long strips of tape on a piece of black cotton. We had to tape the cloth to the ground since we were rehearsing outside and the wind was moving the cloth around.

It took about one full roll of duct tape to get as far as we had gotten in this picture (I'm in the back wearing the camo shirt, the other girl helped us lay down the duct tape, and my collaborator took the picture). I only bought three rolls and had already used some to experiment with fastenings and collars and such. So we're definately going to have to get some more. I'll bring the last roll to rehearsal tomorrow, but someone's going to have to go buy some more after that. Until then, I'll be cutting out stars.
