Myself, orlaith and katie have been workin like mad on our creation.....which will be AMAZING!!! (we hope)
Our theme is 'Medusa'- she was a figure of greek mythology, who had snakes growing from her head, and the power to turn others to stone. As she was a symbol of power, we want to represent this in our use of waste electrical items in making the dress. I don't want to give too much away though about the design of the dress......
So far i've sourced all the materials like a toaster, a computer, printers, cd players, speakers, webcams wires and a few cds from neighbours, friends and local hardware and computer shops. With some help fromthe girls, i have broken up and disassembled all of these- hard work! Katie has gotten all of the 1oo cds we need. Together we've made the hard paper maiche bodice, painted it black and fit it on to orlaith, our lovely model. I've made the body of our 'snake' out of tights, and stuffing for it also. I've also spent alot of time paring back wires! So it's long hard work, but we're coming closer to achieving our goal, of being ready to enter our outfit into the Junk Kouture Competition 2012!!
