Experimented with including sleeves on the body, this sits well on the body using felt works well as it holds its shape when manipulated.

EXPERIMENTAL ADORNMENT
After initial researching of all the various things I found influential for this project. I started playing with adornment of my own, using different weighted and textured materials and making each piece individually, decorating them by hand or with a sewing machine and arranging each piece onto a stand to create a silhouette I like, then sewing all the various pieces together by hand, so that it may be worn on the body.
Heavy Metal.
This particular piece was made during the final year of the FDA in Textiles and Fashion I studied, It was so much fun playing with ideas and pieces of fabric to create something to adorn the body, so I thought why not include it here.
Doodles
This is a quick ink doodle to show shape on the body, I’m hoping over the next couple of days to make the final pieces and do a photo-shoot.

Adornment
A quick painting I did to show how a decorative piece of adornment could be worn on the body,
Celtic Mythology and British Folklore.
While gathering research I came across a book called King Arthur’s Raid on the Underworld, a re-telling of the 9th century Welsh poem Preiddeu Annfwyn or The Raid on the Underworld, which is one of the most enigmatic texts in British literature. It appears to tell the story of a raid, led by the hero Arthur on the Otherworld, to steal a magical cauldron from its guardians.
Meg Falconer is a painter who bases much of her work on Celtic Mythology and British Folklore. Creating amazing abstract art to illustrate this book.
