3D Major - Wearable Art Competition

For a while now I've been really interested

 in the Wearable Arts but thought it was too 

"out-of-my-league" to enter something..

 A few weeks ago I saw a flyer advertising
the annual Art 'n Tartan Wearable Arts

I thought, why not? So I filled in

an entry form and sent it off.

The criteria of entry must include 25% tartan

so I jumped on the internet in search of fabric.

I was really excited to find some offcuts on

 Trade Me that were only $3.50 Buy Now!!

I purchased it and the box arrived a few days

 later. I've been brainstorming ever since

 I made the decision to enter...

The section I'm entering in is an Open Section and

 I'm basing my entry on my "Scottish Roots"...

a tree with a handmade paper trunk and tartan

 leaves extending  off wire "branches"

Over the next month I'll be making long pieces of 

handmade paper using these long screens and my outdoor 

bath. I'm hoping it'll work...so watch this space!

Time: 10 hours (3D/Sculpture) 

researching, brainstorming
