Of course, I would never do this on my own for my own pleasure, therefore this is another school project. I couldn't find any way to enjoy this project, since I didn't find it very challenging. The theme was "whatever you like, just make it big" covered under the pretty name of "construction and deconstruction of shape".
So I made two "ginormous" shawls inspired by things that I like or did in the past. The first one (left) is inspired by some of my old sketches -
lines and dots - from my first year of college. The technique is called textile collage or applications on fabric, and I filled those with wadding. I also used wool thread to create shapes and add some graphic touches to the composition. As simple as it may look, it was really hard to squeeze 2.5 x 1.0 m of fabric with wadding into my sewing machine., so it was a sweaty, nerve wrecking and stressful task. And the second one, is a bit more childish, I used pigment dieing (tie die technique), textile collage, thread for rain and wadding for the little whale. The size is the same, 2.5 x 1.0 m.
Amazingly, these were in 3 or 4 exhibitions around the country, unfortunately I don't know the names, I don't have the photos, because we were refused to get any information regarding this subject. And I don't even have them anymore, nor do I expect to have them ever again (the irony).
