For this project I wanted to do something a little left of centre [considering how my polypropylene and acrylic was being used] and as a result I thought of a messenger bag - or more the deconstruction of the bag. I had this idea after looking over the slides Mar had shown us [having taken note of the dress and 2 second tent]. Initially I had thought about making a Chinese checker set but that idea fell through when I realised how many small fiddly bits there were going to be.The design of my bag is simple, much like any other sling bag. However I thought of the more simplistic ways material could be joined together and came up with an eyelet and rope system that allowed the seams to be hidden or shown [depending on how you wish to lace it up]. The material is cotton drill, ensuring that there is no stretch in the material making it more durable. I made this with practicality in mind, so it could be an object that could be used again and again.
Sorry about not being able to put it together, took me a while but it eventually clicked to me and i finally got there!!!
ReplyDeletesmart idea, i love how it all gets put together with a few pieces of string.
Colours are very simple and elegant and love the way it sits on the shoulder when the bag has things in it. Only criticism though is the material used could be improved and strap could be a little shorter, maybe coz im a little short it was a little too long for me!
very simple and smart idea. is a good gift for a friend. my only concerned is that the strap of the bag is too long it makes the user not very connivence.
