Gold Set



This was a set that we did last year. We had a great response from it. The people loved how it looked from the auditorium and the lights played great off of the blocks of gold. We used black and white foam board, 4 ft x 4 ft. We painted the white board with gold metalic paint, and hung them in a pattern that matched our series logo. They hung to the top poll, and then were each attached to each other using binder hooks. You could always use cable ties. Foam board is an inexpensive material that is not very heavy and can be cut into any shape you desire. The only problem with this set is that the wetness of the paint caused the board to bow in slightly, but was hardly even noticable by the time you stepped way about 15 ft.
Try foam board. It can be purchased at any sign store in your local area.
Stay creative!

This was an effective set; you do such beautiful work!
I remember the lights playing off the blocks, and think that because they did warp a bit, it made it even more interesting!
