26/09/2012 Dolphinholme day two...

Day two was much more interesting for me. The found items that I collected the first day had dried out a little and I was able to use them to create a garment. Danielle (textiles teacher) had brought mannequins and fabrics with her so that we could get stuck straight in. I decided to create a dress based not only on the environment but country living as well. The fabric that I selected is typical of that used for a farmers topcap and was very appropriate for country theme. I experimented with the fabric, draping and tying it and had to figure out a way of attaching it all together. Noticing there were knitting needles I took them and tried piercing the fabric with them to keep it all together, surprisingly it worked well.
The dress I made was solely attached together with knitting needles and  rope.
