According to my plan I wanted to make a necklace out of disposable spoon, but I haven't had enough time so I decided to make a flower out of the target plastic bags as my props. It came out pretty good. I really wanted to make my skirt like floor length long ;)

Thank you Ms. Chelsea and girls! It was pretty busy 10 weeks but I learned so many new things. Hope I will see you guys in other classes. Have a good one week break you all!

On week 9 I still had quite a bit of work to do.  The hardest part, which was peeling off the outer layers of the cardboard, was behind me.  I now need a manicure to fix the nail damage done during the process.
I still have to sew more cardboard onto the strips of fabric and then sew them onto the skirt.  Then I have to figure out how to sew cardboard pieces to the corset.  I also have to sew the zipper on the skirt and corset. And finally I need to ink around the letters Think to high light them better.

Finally!  The "Think outside the box concept I had has taken life".  What a relief.  Now I have to clean up all the mess I made around the house with boxes and ribbon and paint.  I have never done anything this intense.  It was a challenge for me in many ways. But it was the kind of challenge that to me brought growth.  I really learned so much from this project.  If I had to do this again I definitely would not hesitate.

Here I proudly present the outcome of my hard work and stress.

Unfortunately my phone is old and would not let me update any pictures, it wouldn't let me upload them on any other site in order for me to save them and post them on here, and it also wouldn't let me text them.

What I still needed to finish on my project was sewing on the last bit of cardboard. I had to sand paper down some mason jars as well. I also had to spray paint some chains and mason jar caps to make them all match the same gold tone.

I'm so excited to finally see the absolute finished project .  I named my mannequin Jenyfer .  To see the final product in the window with props and accessories was a gratifying feeling . 

My garment didn't exactly come out as I had anticipated.  those darn sea shells !!! 

A few people took one look at the garment and they all said the same thing "that's so you". I can dig that . 

Week 9 Karla Salazar

I am still working on my props, I have applied all the pieces that are made from clay and left to dry. Once the clay dries than I glue the napkins onto them. Once the napkins have dried then I can start painting them and completing them.

I have finished sewing the basics of the dress as showed in the above picture. I have also started to glue the napkin flowers to the top part of the dress. The only thing left to do in order to finish the dress is to finish gluing the flower napkins as the dress is covered completely with them.

I have finished drafting my corset pattern. Ready to cut out my fabric. I would say it’s about 20% done so far. Sewing my corset doesn’t take that long but making some patterns with ropes on it will take more.

I am still combing ropes for my skirt. I would say I’ve done 60% of my rope skirt so far.

About props for my installation, I am planning to hang colorful decorative strings from the ceiling like a curtain.

 My garment is still under major construction. I'm finished cutting out the pattern for the long sleeve crop top. My plans are to fully assemble the a outfit tomorrow after class 

I went to the beach today to collect my sea shells. Which at first seemed like a walk in the park, but of course when your looking for something you never find it so easily. It looked as if someone cleaned the beach of all the sea shells. I combed the beach for like 2 hours looking for shells that might work 

I found  60-70 shells 

 While I was looking for shells , I was also looking for materials I could use for accessories and came up with an idea to turn some feathers from the sea gulls or whatever the beach birds are called into an earring. I was excited because I made a super hip dramatic drop earring with hanging shells.i also made a shell bracelet out of  floral wire and some craft string I had laying around.

 

 To conclude my adventure I spotted a lot of dead jelly fish  which I thought this one was cool because its insides where inside out. Which if you didn't know jelly fish can still sting you even if they are dead #mentalnote

I'm actually falling in Love with my garment. I feel like it's giving off an Egyptian vibe. I still have to continue sewing me garment & start on my props. For my props I still have to make my gold pyramids and connect the chains at the top to give them that ancient feel.
