Experiments

Just a few experiments with transfer printing, tie-dying and fake blood. All of these went towards my journal for a hand-in.









Aunt Fanny: The Legend of a Shirt

Our project was to create and age the shirt from the poem Aunt Fanny: The Legend of a Shirt http://www.exclassics.com/ingold/ing37.htm. Most of the shirt was sewn together by machine, but any parts which could be seen from the outside were hand sewn. It was made and dyed in accordance with the descriptions in the poem. The shirt was arranged in the photos to demonstrate the part in the poem when the shirt is drying, before it was set on fire.
