Blogotopia project

Second year, second semester

In this project I was asked to open a blog on the internet,

which would document the whole process of the creation

of the project all the way through to the end.

This blog served me as my sketchbook. I focused on the

Gothic stained glass and it's reflection- pointed geometry

as opposed to a soft blur. In this course I learned how to

sew a leotard from a suiting cloth, and how to place cuts

on the body in a proportional and flattering way.

Fine and accurate sewing on Chiffon cloth, I designed the

fabric and print on the "Photoshop" program.

In this project I discovered the great strength of the media

in general and more so that of the internet.
