BEAU SCARLETT-PITT 04/10/14
Following Wednesday's experimentation with the heat press, I started to design ideas for a final accessory outcomes. I really liked the way that the red thread that bound the heart together and I wanted to replicate this in my final design. I drew a few sketchy ideas from my research that I collected so far and came up with this body cage idea. I used the idea of the bounding and encasing the body from the heat press heart I made.
The image above is my final accessory. I am really happy with the overall result as I feel that it reflects my idea and my progression really well. However, I found it really challenging to construct due to the unruliness of the wire. It also took a lot of time and effort to make the structure secure as I had designed it to be. I did get feedback from a peer (niovelouca.blogspot.co.uk) who I got to try it on , who said that it did feel a little unsafe to wear as there were some ends of wire sticking out scratching her. To resolve this issue, I made extra sure that there were no sharp edges sticking out of the body cage by cutting and sanding down the pricks to leave them blunt and safe.
Prior to the accessories shoot next week, I do want to add the extra touch of spray painting the body cage red to keep to the mono colour brief.
All construction notes are included in my technical sketchbook.
