Placing actual Sculpture on the Stand

I put my sculpture on the stand in various places and was very happy with the results.

Sculpture piece 

For my sculpture piece I went with the word Impact. I wanted to create the word explode and keep that theme running throughout my project. I started off experimenting with different materials such as wax, plaster, latex, yarn and various fabrics. For my actual piece I started by throwing wax onto a sheet and then sewed various yarns and fabrics of deep reds in the centre close together and then gradually dispersed them from to the edges of the sheet. I then threw some dyed plater onto the piece and was really happy with the choice of materials that I used.

Easter Project p19: Layering

Layered clothing is a manner of dressing using multiple garments that are worn on top of each other. This is the same in fashion design where different layers of material are layered on top of each other.

Easter Project p18: Boning

Boning is a hard structural addition made of rigid materials like plastic or metal that you can add to your dress bodice to provide you with shaping for your figure and support for the fabric itself. Bodice boning is sewn into a casing at the seams for basic shaping and in between seams for added stability and style. The number of bones you use depends on what look you are going for, but each individual bone is sewn in the same way by attaching it either to the lining or directly to the inside of the outer fabric.
