Thank you, Sheryl, for your excellent Fireside Chats. I love each and every one! It has been wonderful meeting Suzy Furrer and the other designers and hearing their stories. Each has offered new and interesting nuggets of information of various topics of which I had no knowledge. For example, Suzy teaching the Lucasfilm “tailors” of animated characters about various fabrics and how they drape. All your interviews have been terrific. I hope to see many more.
Thank you Susan! I am so glad you have enjoyed them. I have enjoyed meeting these people as well. They are so interesting! We have one more coming in this series. Next Saturday we will post the interview with Emily Hallman. Then it is time for a break! But I am truly pleased they have been interesting and provided a respite from quarantine life. That was the whole reason for doing them.
