Final Fabric Manipulations

        Inspiration Museum Label

        Black Evil in Red Blooming Rose

A died red rose?

No.

It’s the blooming black rose. 

Full of vigor. 

          Description:

My concept for this collection is a Drying Rose process. 

From bottom to top(photo attached):

1.The blooming rose

2.Through layers and layers

3.she's drying and she lowers her head with shy face

4. The Pain messed up inside her body

（this fabric has two parts）

Left part：cannot stand

right part：calming down

5. The rose became less rage of blooming because of stale. 

The arranged petals and clear layers were caused by drying process. 

6. The nerves stopped beating in rose, withering together.  

                                                          

Reflection:

I love this experience of making fabric manipulations, I had so much fun. I love each pieces that I made, because each of them was made by different techniques. 

It is really hard to choose the favorite one, I love the uniqueness of each of them. However, I would say the third one from the bottom is most successful one, the reason is that, this piece is very elegant in a clean way, also it gives a feeling of drying rose with emotion on it. 

I think this collection really shows my concept of beauty: unpredictable. I would not have known that I will make a collection like this until I finished everything. This result came out with lots of experiences. I did not make an exact rule for my fabric shape, I just had a feeling in my mind, like what kind of feeling this fabric will express, then I tried to make it. Actually, I tried to sketch a pattern for my fabric manipulation once. I tried to make an exactly same fabric. But, in the half of that process, I found it was more beautiful just kept the fabric in that unfinished shape.I like the surprise while creating stuff, it is even more exciting than getting inspirations. After that experience, I learnt that the feeling of the fabrics were more important, sometimes to make a rule for design really restrict ideas to pop up. Thus, this collection are made with unpredictable, and I love it.
