#4 Clothing

Hokay, so. Here's a chair. Dang, that's a pretty sweet chair, you might say. Haha with anyone who understood that....Anywayz, this chair was constructed out of clothes! More specifically, clothes I intend on attempting to trade for cooler ones at Buffalo Exchange. They were just taking up space in the corner of my room, so until they are transported to Hillcrest, I put them to use! At first, I was just trying to imitate shape with the items of clothing. But i realized that bringing color into the equation would make the chair actually read as a chair. So, with a unity of color, I could depict light and shadow better. So I used a range of whites to cremes and a smattering of greys and blues, instead of just random color. Ta-Da!

#3 Embroidery

This is what we like to call a "fascinator"! I stick a bobby pin on the underside of it and can then fascinatingly fasten it into my hair. =) It isnt the tidiest thing in the world, but it was my first try. It took me a few hours to embroider, and since I took this photo I actually filled in the yellow leaveature, so it stands out a bit more. I'm kind of stretching it a little on the application of the challenge rules here, but I think it still works. Happy New Year!
(PS-- The first time I was genuinely happy/excited about 2009 was tonite when I uploaded this photo to my Mac and saw that it had made a new "2009" subdivision in the pictures folder. I'm weird... and spend a lot of time in those picture folders. haha.)
