Material shapes, Chiffon, Medium size 1st shape

I loved working with chiffon which was surprising as it's very difficult to manipulate. I liked how it had a mind of its own when I tried to recreate the paper shapes and provided what I find to be more beautiful features.

3rd shape

I liked working with this shape the most as I was able to create structured yet flowing while still including shapes within the larger silhouette.

Shape 2

This shape seemed interesting when drawn flat but when i tried to work with it I found it bulky and difficult and not keeping to my brief. I did create an interesting shape but I felt it just didn't interest or make me want to keep experimenting like the other.

Shape 1, medium scale

This was my favourite size to work with as a new shape could be created while still including interesting curves within the shape.

Shape 1, small scale

Using the smaller shape made it difficult to create a full silhouette. It was easy to create interesting textures however as we were looking at shapes I liked working with larger pieces better.

1st shape, large scale

I created a new silhouette on the body with this shape.

Working with Paper

I chose two shapes, from my research, to cut out of paper and create new shapes on the mannequin. My first shape worked well but I wasn't happy with the second one so I pulled a third shape. I used 3 different sizes for each; large, small and a medium size.
