Crimson Collection - caged experiment
Also today I found a bit of time to apply some black casings to an experimental design I’ve been playing with. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. To be honest, I don’t know if I will really have a solid opinion of this piece until I see it on a real squishable body…
It started the day as such:
And ended up as follows:
Placed on a mannequin, you begin to get an idea of the criss-crossing pattern. It’s certainly unusual, but it’s hard to imagine the proper effect whilst it is sitting without the pressure of a body to smooth it out. And perhaps I would like this better in a different colour scheme.
Or perhaps I would have preferred it without the black casings entirely! But I had committed myself to trying the design in this way from the start. I will also like it considerably better once it is trimmed, lined, boned, and neatly bound.
