We had a seminar with Andy today about choosing objects and methods to use to make our props from. Not many people had ideas of what they are going to make yet as we are still learning making methods and collecting research. I have been thinking about making a small respiration canister gas mask after looking around The Imperial War Museum. I also quite like the idea of making something like a Princess Mary gift box, which was a tin full of donations made by the public for soldiers and widows or mothers of the dead. The gifts changed depending on whether the recipient was a smoker or not.
I asked Andy about the props needing to be civilian only but he said that we could use the soldier related research we’ve found and work from the angle of civilians adapting left and traded items from soldiers into things they could use in the home.
