Final Project

biographical self-reference

Snuggling up with Naisha :)

        My Final project was inspired by my pig stuffed animal which I named Oinkers. He is very special to me because I made him at the Toys R Us in NYC where I live. I made it there with my boyfriend on one of our first dates.
        The whole project is made out of recycled materials that I deconstructed. The outside of the body and head are made out of socks. I created a rounded shape for the head and a spherical one for the body. The limbs and ears are made out of canvas and a mesh material. I created skinny spherical shapes for the limbs. The ears were originally triangular shapes and then I sewed them down to create a realistic, cute shape. I found buttons from my old shirts for the nose and eyes. The whole project was hand sewn together.
        I explored unity, harmony and proportion with this project as well. I unified the project using different colors and textures that harmonized together in the end result. The darker pinks accent the certain areas while the off-white canvas color brings attention to the limbs.
      The actual inspiration means a lot to me and I am proud of how the final project came out. I believe it was successfully done and clearly portrays what it is supposed to.
