Blue Smoke Mas: Atlanta Carnival 2016

http://store.bluesmokeent.com/products

My compadre Lingy aka Lingywashere and I were asked to help design costumes for a new Atlanta Carnival band called Blue Smoke Mas.  They are a small band that want to offer a more affordable carnival experience to those that want to play mas, but don’t want to spend $300 - $400+. 

 

Oh how I would love to be able to design some $800+ costumes, but I had a good time designing these.  They were pretty simple designs, like I said we were aiming to keep costs low.  If you follow my carnival tutorials then you've seen how I make the collars and leg pieces... and just like the leg piece, the belt design came from an unlikely place...

Here are a few stolen moments of us in the lab, enjoying some chunes and Jesus Juice. What can I say, even when I'm working I like to have a GOOD TIME!
