One student dyed and painted silk to create a costume for Titania, the Fairy Queen, in the MIT Symphony Orchestras production of A Midsummer Nights Dream.
A close-up of the shoulder strap shows veins and highlights painted on the leaves.
Oberon, King of the Fairies, wore this majestic costume, featuring an open vest of several kinds of leather and faux fur.
The back features a swath of iridescent feathers and other textured fur, and a set of upswept antlers.
The many-branched antlers were molded of Variform.
Building on the earlier mask project, one student built an elaborate Chinese Opera mask.
Plush pompoms, peacock feathers, wooden beads, cut foam shapes, rhinestones, and glitter embellish the underlying painted papier-mâché mask.
