So Cazz suggested my work wasn't femme enough. That's true enough.
The male/female clothing ratio is at least 2:1 which isn't good enough for ze ladies I guess. So Cazz suggested to venture into jewellery. In fact I did have a few suggestions to look into jewellery, so we went Primark spying for potential stuff I could apply swear words to:
Jewellery like this could possibly have letraset applied onto them, however their non-permeable qualities may mean it may easily come off.
These pieces are easier to apply to I think as they firstly have flat surfaces and secondly (particularly for the fabric disc and button earrings) any letraset/fabric paints applied will stay on for longer, if not, permanently.
Jewellery I'd definitely like to delve into, but below are some other areas I could explore probably after the project:
Other applications of words onto fabric: felt! Duh, why on earth didn't I think of that before?! But I think it's a bit too late now in the project to change the application method. But after, certainly.
These zipper ends cost £2.99 or something crazy! But that'd be fun to have my typography cast in metal and then put on the end of a zipper.
A definite feminine (or masculine!) addition to the Sworn! family: fake nails and letraset. It works, Cazz has done it for her blog with her real nails...
So I will probably experiment with jewellery until the actual exhibition day, but essentially I'm saying that this project certainly isn't finished when the exhibition finishes.
