Glue jacket

IMG_0363 IMG_0369 IMG_0364 IMG_0371 I present my jacket! The first item of clothing (apart from the toile) I have made myself completely from scratch. And boy did it take a while with two layers of slippery fabric, a layer of PVA glue and ink (don't ask), then all the decoration on top. In case you can't tell, it's based on the body (...and shells/barnacles a bit) - the inside glue layer is muscle, the pink silk is skin, the barnacles are the spine and the blue glue on the underside of the sleeves is veins. It will hopefully get me an A, I love it and best of all, I can wear it because it's made to my measurements! But I don't think I'll be taking it out very often... Plus my favourite photo from the whole project. :) back

  1. I'm absolutely mesmerized by your jacket! I can't stop looking at the back of it. It actually reminded me of planets and craters.

    I was Googling Sekonda watches and I came across your blog—I love it! Great photos!
