My resolution or rather resolve this year was to go after the things I wanted to do.
One of the things I've meant to participate in is the Hand and Lock prize.
I toyed with the idea of creating an embroidered fiber book or a scarf and finally settled on a scarf. My theme was Urban Camouflage. The intention was to create a reversable stole/scarf.
My inspiration was the torn posters on walls and graffiti.
My attempt at fashion illustration!The idea was to create two faces, one a bolder brighter side and the other a more quiet, subtle surface. One can choose which side to wear the stole, turn it around and in a jiffy you can sport a different look a bit like camouflage, you can decide to blend in with what the occasion demands.
A portion of the scarf I began work on. It's a work in progress.Need to add some sparkle.
I didn't make it as one of the finalists.
Hoping to enter the finished stole in another show and I'll try again next year.
