Eyeball Embroidery



I  embroidered an eyeball using different fabrics and thread. I used calico as my background fabric and drew on the stitch line. I chose a variety of fabrics, denim for the pupil, a blue organza I dyed myself for the iris and red felt for the veins. I thought about using this piece as a badge or a feature. Im still not sure if this is the way I want to take my ideas but I did enjoy making this and will definitely use this in future projects.

Design Three

Design Three When I thought about gender fluid fashion and that not every man would be comfortable wearing a skirt unless it was of course a kilt. I then thought about a skort so this is my idea to start it being comfortable for everyone to be ok weather it be trousers, dress or skirt. I will look into this more as I grow as a designer  I added a shirt with pointed shoulders then for fun a tongue and eyes tie.

Final piece

Final Project  A few pictures of my final piece. The mesh is screen printed. I designed this so the mesh could be detached and reattached when needed.   "Monsters In The Wardrobe" This piece is made from fabric and utilises screen printing and felting techniques. The piece is a response to my children's experiences of gender non conformity. I have a trans gender child and a non-binary child. Both children have had terrible and negative experiences regarding their gender identity and the clothing conformities which are pervasive in society. Having to dress in clothing which defines them as a gender they do not feel they are becomes traumatic and eventually the clothing in the wardrobe became monsters to them. The piece explores the idea of owning the problems that haunt you and turning weakness into power.   Gender specific silhouettes and colour pallets were explored as this was central to removing the gender from the garment.

Design Four This design is a long jumper that has long tentacle arms with eyes all over them. It would then have large screen printed lips on the front. I passed on this design because again it might look too costume but I really like the arms.
