Again Thursday morning we had our tutorials with another tutor to show our progress and ideas. Showing my digital design and jumper so far my tutors were pleased with how my progress was coming along. Again we shared ideas about the spacing and what would be most beneficial for my with doing the home based scene. Some ideas were that I used lamp lightings from my nans within the photos or a dark based room Wirth small lightings portraying onto my garment with fairy lights coming in and out of the jumper.
Once having the tutorials I was able to start threading the fairy light through the jumper. With creating the jumper, I did not expect the fairy lights to be the hardest part of creating the object as they kept getting tangled in the process of threading them through!!.
with the fairy lights, I wanted to use quite subtle, pretty ones as they are quite feminine and gentle. I wanted them to portray this aesthetic as the scenery will be quite dark and dramatic so it needed a contrast to create a balance. As you can see, from inspiration from older students who used family photos of belongings, I was able to find family photos myself and place them onto the jumper creating a story behind it.
With the progress so far I am pleased with how it is turning out as it has been a struggle to do this but I’m glad I have been pushing myself to do this as it is creating such a powerful and beautiful object that has a lot of meaning to it.
