This next "Gifted Designer" is David O. Roberts. This sketch is Arminda from Mozart's "La Finta Giardiniera" which was designed for Wolf Trap Opera. This was from David's first season at Wolf Trap and it was the first time the company built an entire show back in 1992. Mr. Roberts has had a extensive career and now transforms students through this teachings. Thank you David.

In my lazy, hazy days of FB, I am admiring all the wonderful costumes and period clothing presented online. So many beautiful renderings and sketches created from a collaboration of designers and artisans; representing a particular time, place, and point of view. This wonderful sketch was gifted as a thank you from Jeff Johnson-Doherty. Every June shops were abuzz with Broadway Bares. This costume "Miranda Marx" appeared in Broadway Bares 2004. It was a pleasure for me to assist with whatever supplies were needed for this wonderful and worthy event. Thank you Jeff. Your always a blessing and a joy! Keep...
