Personal Project Proposal

 

Idea 1: For idea 1 I was thinking of making a series of shirts inspired by different forms of art that make me feel certain emotions. Ideally I was thinking of 3 shirts that explore pocket placement in unconventional positions. While my main goal is to embroider different flowers on each shirt. I would like to emphasize that each flower and shirt play different roles. Each flower will be based off the emotions i feel from each piece of inspiration I research. Whether it be a song, poem or other shirts.

 





Ideally I would like to use the color blue, and white and use different methods of shibori to achieve different patterns. Yellow flowers make happy, purple ones make me feel euphoric, and blue ones make me feel neutral so those flowers will portray my moods on each shirt.


Idea 2: For my second idea I would like to explore the same concept of unorthodox or convenient pocket placement but within blankets. I would like to think of these blankets being a "helper" to everyday lounge activities but stylish. I dont want to make it a snuggie but more so an over all traditional blanket that has pockets on it but with cool patterns. 




For material i will try to find a soft cotton fabric that I will dye for over 24 hours and hand sew pockets onto them. I will also try to experiment with fabric glue if it is easier.

Dye session 1 Process

      For the first piece of cloth that I dyed pictured at the  bottom right I folded the square cloth in half and then folded one have into a triangle and rolled it up completely until it looked like mini burrito. I used 2 cups of water, 1/2 a tablespoon of turmeric and boiled it for 5 minutes. For the second one I used 4 cups of water, 2 1/2 tablespoons of turmeric and boiled for 10 mins. I did not fold this piece of cloth I only crumbled it up and through it in to boil. For the 3rd dyed piece of fabric I used 4 cups of fabric, 4 tbsp of turmeric and boiled for  5 minutes. For this boil I folded it into as many triangles as I could. For the final piece of fabric I used 2 cups of water and one table spoon of turmeric and boiled for 5 minutes. I folded this piece into as many squares as I could. I think that my favorites so far are the first and the 3rd one. The 3rd one is the darkest one that came out and I'm really digging this color.

I am overall happy with my final outcomes and once I glue or sew them all together, I will update my blog to show my dog off with it haha!
