Designs by Beth Joos

This rather random assortment of items demonstrates several of the skills I find interesting and useful as a designer & artisan.  

I designed and built:

-toast & ham slice from craft foam & acrylic paint (I did NOT build the eggs) "Old Maid and the Thief"

-gold cartouche carved from closed cell styrofoam & model paint.   

-Glengarry Bonnet & fascinator on buckram bases decorated with ribbon trimmings 

-machine embroidered gold detail for Mrs. Potts sleeve "Beauty and the Beast," 275 Brass ensemble music stand cover & school crest "Master Harold" 

-felted headband & leather gauntlet  "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

-pigskin Scotty dog doorstop

-abacus & flail from found or transformed objects

-logo design for Children's Hospital

-punchbowl carrier -because I needed one

These samples are intended to illustrate problem solving ability, facility with multiple materials and techniques, and ability to transform available items into stage ready pieces.
