For the world premiere of M. Butterfly, I had the pleasure of working with the costume department dye shop. I worked with other scenic artists to hand paint over 800 flowers on two different silk kimonos for the show. The process was intensive and took over a week. We practiced the technique before starting, and the different paint dye colors we used had varying thicknesses, so adjustments took place throughout the process.
