How to Make Seaweed Out of Plastic Tablecloths - Scenic Artists' Tips and Tricks

Maybe you are preparing sets in case you can get rights to Sea Ya Later: An Underwater Musical! by STAR Theatre. In that case, you might need huge set piece that is supposed to be seaweed. If this is what you need, you can make seaweed out of plastic table clothes. This is somewhat similar to making seaweed out of trash bags, but plastic table cloths do not stretch like trash bags do.

An underwater view of seaweed, especially on the right side of the picture.

In order to make these seaweed set pieces, you need the following items:

1. Scissors such as CCR 8-inch Scissors with Soft Comfort-Grip Handles
2. Plastic table cloths such as White 12 Pack Premium Disposable Plastic Tablecloth, though you may want to get colors such as brown or green.
3. Brown spray paint such as Krylon Leather Brown COLORmaxx Spray Paint
4. Green spray paint such as Krylon Hunter Green COLORmaxx Spray Paint
5. A way to hang your seaweed outside
6. A way to hang your seaweed as the set piece or pieces

In this tutorial, only one tablecloth will be used to make seaweed. If you need more than one table cloth for your set, repeat the process with more tablecloths.

In order to make the seaweed:

1. Unfold the tablecloth and make sure that the longest side is at the top while the shorter sides are at the sides as it is likely that this is the way you want it (though, if your measurements are different, then position the tablecloth for your measurements).
2. Cut vertical strips about two inches wide, starting from the bottom and leaving about two inches uncut at the top. None of this has to be completely perfect because if it is perfect, it is likely that it will not look like seaweed.
3. Once the strips are cut, the they can be twisted lightly by hand. Do not try to stretch the tablecloth.
4. Take the tablecloth outside and hang it up.
5. Spray paint the tablecloth with brown and green spray paint. You want to make sure that this covers all the seen parts well.
6. Let the paint dry. If this looks good, you can leave it.
7. You can twist the strips of the tablecloth more if you would like.
8. If the paint did not cover well, you can spray paint again.
9. Repeat the process of twisting and painting until you are happy with your results.
10. Once happy, the seaweed can be hung as a set piece.

There are some sets, such as the one for The Little Mermaid that require you to have coral as set pieces. There are various ways of making coral. In this blog post, we are going to concentrate on making blue coral out of pool noodles.

How to Create a Brick Wall Using Rectangular Sponges - Scenic Artists' Tips and Tricks

There are times that a set may need a brick wall. There are various methods to make this, but one of the easiest ways is by using rectangle sponges and paint.

A brick wall behind Paulina handing Gus Perdita in Leo's office from Yet Another Shakespeare Rewrite or The Winter's Tale for a Modern Day Audience.

1. Make sure that your scenery is laying down flat. You want to lay your scenery on a flat surface so none of the paint drips downward.
2. Use some scrap or a paint tray to create a place where sponges are dipped into paint. You may want to use a paint tray like Wooster Brush 11" Deluxe Plastic Tray.
3. Decide on your paint colors and make a puddle of the colors together. Start with the color you want the most of and put that into a big puddle in the tray. Afterwards, drizzle amounts of the other colors that you want included in your bricks. If you want brick colored paints, you probably want to choose reds and browns and maybe some whites and grays. However, you may want some odd colored bricks.
4. Dip your rectangular sponge (or sponges of the same size) into the paint. If you don't have any rectangular sponges, you may want to buy some like Blue Panda Synthetic Craft Sponges.
5. Carefully apply the sponge or sponges to the scenery in a straight line with each sponge evenly spaced. If you don't want the wall to look perfect, you do not have to be extremely careful withthe placement of the bricks.
6. On the next line, repeat the same process, but with the sponges starting at about the middle of the bricks above them.
7. On the line after this, go back to the starting spot in distance from the edge of the scenery was from the first line and repeat the process on the third line.
8. Repeat the process with this on the second line.
9. Keep repeating the process for each line until the bottom of the scenery is reached.
10. Add the grout color if desired. If you want it to look like grout is between the bricks, paint lines with the color paint of your choice between the sponge markings.
11. Let the scenery dry.

How to Figure Out How Many Stripes Are Needed on a Wall - Scenic Artists' Tips and Tricks

There may be sets when you need a striped wall. Sometimes, the number of stripes doesn't matter and they are only supposed to be a certain width. At those times, it doesn't matter if you know how many stripes are on the wall. However, there are times that you need to figure out how wide stripes should be for a wall because there are a certain number of stripes. If you need to do this, here is how it is done.

A striped wall.

Of course, this trick only works if you want your stripes to be of equal width. If you want stripes of different widths, that will take some more calculating.

Let's say that a script says that there are a series of pink and purple stripes on a wall with there being 11 pink stripes and 12 purple stripes.

1. Find the total number of stripes. 12 pink stripes and 13 purple stripes give a total of 25 stripes.
2. Find the height of the wall Use a tape measure such as the Komelon SM5425 Speed Mark Gripper to measure your wall from top to bottom.
3. Divide the height of the wall by the number of stripes. If your wall happens to be 8' high, you then divide 8' by 25. This results in 0.32 feet. This value can be multiplied by 12 in order to get inches. That results in 3.84". You now know that each stripe will be 3.84".
4. Mark your stripes with a pencil before painting them. Measure 3.84" from the top of the wall and make a straight line with a pencil such as these AmazonBasics Pre-sharpened Wood Pencils.
5. Paint your stripes. Make sure that you paint the color of the odd numbered stripe at the very top of the wall. You can then skip the stripe afterward and continue the pattern. If you have more than one person painting, you can have that person start on painting the other color from the opposite side, making sure to start painting on the second stripe down.

How to Create Patterns with String and Paint Rollers - Scenic Artists' Tips and Tricks

Have you ever needed to paint a wall or a set piece with a pattern? You can always buy patterened paint rollers like this one: Garosa Texture Pattern Paint Roller Brush

However, if you have a paint roller and string, you can make your own patterned paint roller.

A textured wallpaper pattern

1. Start with your basic paint roller. One like this will do: KingOrigin premium 4 inch Paint Roller Kit
2. Next, wrap string or yarn around the paint roller in any pattern that you would like. You can make it evenly spaced or create odd patterns. You might want some yarn such as Lion Brand Tweed Yarn or string such as T.W Evans Cordage 12-250 Number-1 Braided Nylon Mason Line
3. Once the string is wrapped on ther paint roller, put paint on the surface. Don't force it into places, but do make sure that it covers the roller and the string enough that it will paint. You may want to use paint such as Mshzf DIY 5D Diamond Painting Kit.
4. You can put more than one color on the roller if you would like to have different colors. If not, stick with one color of paint.
5. Make sure that you test out the pattern on a scrap of scenery or paper to make sure it turns out how you would like it to look.
6. Now that you have made a patterned paint roller, you can paint walls or furniture with different patterns. You can always rearrange the yarn or string to make different patterns or create your own patterns with multiple paint rollers and not be limited to those that are on the market.

Black Market Theatre Has Inchchieved AgainHedwig and the Angry Inch is in Lake Charles for Two More Performances

A blonde woman stands on stage performing a concert. She gets angry at her backup singer and she spits in his face. This woman is named Hedwig and the backup singer is her husband, Yitzak.

This is not Hedwig, but it comes close to how she might look on some days.

However, not all is as it seems. At the beginning of the play, we learn that Hedwig wasn't originally a women. Hedwig was born a boy and named Hansel. Hansel only went through the sex change because at the time, when in love with an American soldier named Luther Robinson, but in communist East Germany, a full physical examination was needed for two people to get married. It was required that the couple was one male and one female. The doctor that performed the sex change operation botched it, so Hansel was now Hedwig, but everything was botched. On their first aniversary, Luther left Hedwig for a man who was still physically in tact.

As the audience, we are watching Hedwig tell her story in a concert on stage. She is following a rock star, Tommy Gnosis, who she helped with his career by writing good songs. He never gives her any credit at his concerts.

It works as long as you remember that in theatre, you have to have a willing suspension of disbelief. In this case, you have to believe that you could hear a crowd all the way from the Isle of Capri casino in Westlake to downtown Lake Charles.

Joey Boyette plays Hedwig. He is amazing as a performer, always engaging with the audience. If nobody knew that it was Joey playing Hedwig, it would be extremely believable with the person being seen before hearing the story is actually a woman. There is a backup band and I am sorry that I do not have the names of the people in the band.

The venue of Crystal's Downtown works well for the play as it is perfect for a place where a little concert might take place on a little stage. The one problem, which tends to be a problem in all venues where theatre is held and there is not a proper place for a band such as an orchestra pit, is that the music from the band often overpowers the person or people who are speaking or singing.

However, with the basic knowledge of the play and watching Hedwig, it is fairly obvious what is happening the entire time. The play was directed to Jessa Theriot Lormand and it can be seen two more times in Lake Charles.

The play can be seen at Crystal's Downtown (720 Ryan St. Lake Charles, LA 70601). There is parking in the lot on Broad St. which will have a back entrance to Crystal's. This show is only for those who are 18 years of age and older. You can get tickets at Black Market Theatre's Yapsody Site. The two times that the play can be seen again are as follows:

• Friday, December 13, 2019 at 7:30pm
• Saturday, December 14, 2019 at 7:30pm

Schlepitchka - Scenic Artists' Tips and Tricks

Have you ever needed to create a quick background for wallpaper or greenery? Has it been difficult to find the exact technique to accomplish this?

What you probably want is schlepitchka. This technique uses a feather duster to create the background for the wanted scenery. If you'd like to create your background fairly quickly, you are going to need the following things.

• A feather duster (it is said that ostrich feathers work best)
• Scenic Paint
• Scrap Plywood

Now you can get started:

1. Pick your three base colors of paint. These will most likely be in the same color family, but that will be up to you and the design that you want.
2. Start by dipping your feather duster into the darkest color paint
3. Flog the duster on the scrap plywood two or three times to remove excess paint.
4. Apply the feather duster to the scenery by lightly dropping or dainbbing the feathers onto the background and turning the feather duster in your hand each time you drop it and each time you pick it up.
5. Make sure that you move the feather duster to a different spot each time.
6. Cover as much of the scenery as wanted and needed.
7. If you only have one feather duster, you may want to wash it.
8. When done with the darkest color, repeat steps 1-7, with the middle color.
9. When done with the middle color, repeat steps 1-7 with the lightest color.
10. Let your scenery dry.
11. Once dry, you should have scenery that has the start of your wallpaper or plant background.

You can see the technique in the following video.

You can read more about using the technique of schlepitchka at this article by Jamie Clausius at Rosco Spectrum.
