Making Accessories

For this project i spent a lot of time on my styling, i feel styling is very important in my final looks as it can bring a look together.

Tie Dying

i wanted to make my own top using tie dye as i felt this would imitate the same vibrant colours and patterns of that materials used in african tribes and indian tribes.i did a lot of trials and research into what patterns would work, using both tie dye and reverse tie dye.

using a black t shirt and bleach gave a beautiful orange earthy colour, this type of dying is called reverse tie dye.

the colour tie dye wasn't as successful as i feel the colour wasn't as vibrant and the tie dying didn't work as well.

Making Necklaces

inspiration for necklaces 

i wanted to imitate these necklaces for my final design and decided this would be best by making them myself using beads i picked out myself, feathers, and wire along with other materials.

i was happy with the final look of the necklace although there were some issues along the way with making sure each string of beads stayed separate equally i managed to over come those issues and create something that worked with my make up design.

Materials for hair

to create stuffed sausage stockings for the hair i decided to use what i had learnt in my practical lessons and extend this idea. using a stuffed stocking with cotton wool that is usually used to structure hair i wanted it not to be cover up but to be shown, so i then covered it with material i had got for the design and stitched it around the stocking.
