The final piece

The finished product of this post 
with a conceptual explanation

For my conceptual class final
I continued a long-term obsession
In a past post I talked about my
obsession with masks

Masks are anonymous
but not like a paper bag over your head kind of anonymous

Instead you choose what others see

I thought of rock stars
specifically terry poison

They might want to got to the next level of cheekiness
by covering their swimsuit shapes
while choose what the audience sees

here it is:

I have always loved fashion

  My mom Gossamer Wings 
always dressed my sister and I
 in amazing outfits
Most of our clothes she made.

looking back at pictures of me
I remember how much I always 
was thinking about clothing 
and the surrounding 
colors 
shapes 
and textures around me

I forgot that it has always been my 
Obsession

Take a look:

I printed out my design on fabric!

So yesterday in class I printed
out my digital textile design

On silk crepe fabric

I plan on making a top
with a peplum
and lantern sleeves

I will stuff and applique
the GIANT parakeets
and place them on each sleeve

But for now I like it as wall paper!!!

I used it for a back drop
for my outfit of the day

Amazing person award and first true spring outfit

The Amazing person award goes to 


Shannon!!

She is finishing up her studies in textiles
I have had the honor to take a class with her

This is her senoir thesis 
She makes fun of fashion
and how rediculous prices are

for nothing

and so she made something amazing
out of nothing

she has a good eye fr items people 
leave behind
and transforms them into A+ purses
that are lined with play money
and labeled with prices comparable 
to the typical luxry brand

her Jesus barette
