C1080 - February 28, 2010 - Part 2 - Carnaval

Here's the second half of the C1080 performance pictures.  What you see here is part of their studio theme, and I think it was neat that they actually had the mammies and the pappies change costume and do something other than shuffle around the stage.

Dancing girls, of course.

And what's a movie lot without Tarzan?

This part was rather disturbing and never would have made it into a show in the US.  The kid does come back ... the drummers chase the Klan away.

Part of the big finale.  As usual, all lubolos end with dancing girls in huge feathery headdresses and not much else.  By the way, you don't have to be thin and curvy to be a dancing girl...

Waiting

I am currently waiting for an order from Nordic Needle to get the green I need for the shutters.  I can't find any in all my boxes of threads!  So I worked instead on more of the peaches of the house itself and on the street at the bottom.

Caved In

I was not strong enough to resist starting another rectangle before finishing the first, so it's started.  This second one's going to be a lot more blue.  I don't have more than an inch left on the first rectangle.

C1080 Part 1 - February 28th, 2010 - Carnaval

C1080 is a lubolo group that made it to the second round of Carnaval, when we saw them.  Their whole performance was built around a movie studio lot, and it worked very well.  Everything was integrated and the program flowed very well, even for us non-Spanish speakers.  Here are some of the pictures from it.  There are so many to show I've separated it into two posts.

This was the lubolo group I enjoyed the most, even if they didn't end up winning.

A Done Heart

I finished Asya's heart this week and it's already on its way to Germany to be put into a quilt.  I've already got a new one to start, but I need to finish a couple of other pressing things before beginning it.

Feelings, Again - Carnaval - February 28th, 2010

By tricks of our schedule and Teatro Verano's, we saw Feelings, a revista (dance revue) group, more than any other group.  Here's a set of photos from their February 28th performance.

Yarn or Ribbon?

There is a little yarn shop about a block from the Manos del Uruguay outlet shop, and we stopped in there last week.  I found this vicose yarn in this pretty pink color.  I think I'm going to use it to make ribbon roses!  The drape will let them be fluid and blowsy, I hope.
