This new project is about using recycled materials. While sticking with the theme of using fabric and thread. It also helps with a bit of spring cleaning so to speak.
I stuffed the socks using scraps of fabric I wasn't using.
I made an armature out of a lamp shade and old metal cloths hangers.
I collected all the unused socks that I could find.
I dyed some of them different colors.
I then spray glued excess fabric unto the armature to give me something to sew onto.
Each sock is then hand sewn onto the armature. Creating a waterfall effect with the socks.
Slowly building the form.
This guy is going to be big.
It has a mouth now.
At this point I have eyes and mouth in the right position. This way I can continue the layering process.
