Mrs. Potiphar's costume

I've been thinking about Mrs. Potiphar's costume at my DC in Reading.  She was decked out in solid gold fabrics that draped and swayed beautifully.  And when Joseph received his coat from his father, he swirled around in it like a fashion model admiring it's cut and length and colors.  I thought wow, I could have made all those costumes!  In my free time, right?  So everything always comes together with a connection.  I couldn't help but think about Gabriel and Megan, two youth from my Arkansas congregation and how they were in dramas this year in Ft. Smith and I did not get to see them.  And I like the dramas.  We had talent nights back home and for a couple of years running Jennifer and I put on a pretty good drama.  One year it was Noah and the ark, and Gabriel's dad built a faux ark prop, and that door had a real drawbridge and my daughters made a sound effect CD to play with a slamming door, and then sprinkling rain and then thunderclaps and a huge storm.  We must have had 300 people in that audience including the CO and his wife.  Those were the days.  The next year, we did Hannah.  A spiritual woman, of course.  I don't have any pictures left from Noah, but I have some of Hannah. I had a lot of help with that play too.  My great friend and sister Loretta spent an entire day with me finishing up the costumes.  So, I wanted to share some pics.  Megan played Penninah and I don't know which drama she was in this year in Ft. Smith, but I could see her vamping it up as Bianca after that!
