Feather Leotard

For my A-level Art courseworki decided to take the inspiration of birds and flight.

From the outset i had a clear idea of what I ideally wanted to create. Unfortunately bythe constraints of OCR, I needed to include a lot more in my final piece than I originally wanted.

So, instead of having a leotard completely covered in layers of feather, gradually growing light in colour and larger in size as you go up the piece, I also incorporated batique, embroidery, printing, random sections of brown organza, and... oh yes... some actual feathers!

I was very pleased with how it turned out eventually:

Front view: feathers, batiqued stips of fabric, feathers, organza, and prints.

Back view: batiqued strips, feathers, prints, dyed feathers.

Bussle: felting, prints, feathers, some sections of batiqued fabric.

Side view: elements as before.
