Update 5.26.1
A little peek at the work that's still going into Luke's costume.
Goal one: Comfort.
Goal two: Uh ... green?
Costuming is an entire industry and art form, and while I have friends who know about making costumes, what I wear is part character and part functional. This isn't a show piece. It's the clothes I'll be in wherever we go and whatever we do on this crazy adventure.
We spent weeks kicking around ideas and suggestions before we started paying for pieces to show up to try on. And since my family almost exclusively wears clothes from the thrift store or as Christmas gifts (we appreciate generous grandparents!), the price tags were devastating to me. Kids that go to the mall to buy clothes for fun boggle my mind. They must be doing pretty well babysitting.
Speaking of that: Also in this video, an update on a prayer request from the last video. While this is unlikely meet all our financial needs, I have a new weekend-only "brand ambassador" position that looks to be an incredible blessing. There are so many benefits, including that my "weekends" can just be Saturdays because of my involvement at church. What "weekend" job lets you skip half the weekend?
I don't think many.
And lastly, what do you think of my glasses?
As we get closer to filming, the biggest prayer requests are:
- Locations, like a Pizza Place and a Bee Farm, where we can film with someone who is good on camera explaining what they do and why.
- There are a ton of details to figure out and finish up. These range from final costume and prop details (wait until you see my satchel!) to set and character things (more fun stuff to share on that front, too!).
- We also need wisdom for business structure as we need to at least formalize parts of this for insurance to protect all the places we go.
Huge thanks to:
