The Seven Deadly Sins!!!!

Another project from last term was Design Semantics where we had to look at the "elements of design" ie Line, Tone, Texture, Shape, Colour, Pattern, Balance, Rhythm, Scale and Form. We had to gather as much information on these elements in relation to one of the seven deadly sins.

Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony and Lust. I was drawn to Envy and looked into various elements of envy.

Sin: Envy
Deamon: Leviathan
Punishment in Hell: Put in freezing water
Animal: Dog
Colour: Green

I was really taken by the frozen water on glass, and took this idea through to design stage. We had to design a textile garment based on the research we had found. Here are the front and back views of the finished top. I used net and felting wool and stichted them onto the top with some feathers to create a "frozen water" design on the top.

Love how this turned out especially considering that I had no idea where to take this project. TTFN xxx
