WEEK 5
This week was very productive! I finished my innovative dress for the Alexander McQueen exhibit. 
I was able to go into the FlexLab and use a vector file from Adobe Illustrator of my red face drawing. They used the vector file to laser cut out the faces from acrylic sheets. Once they were done getting cut out, I had to push out all the negative spaces and pick away all the protective paper layers revealing my face beads. I then strung them on embroidery floss along with multiple other glass beads, attaching them right under the belt part of the dress in varied lengths and sizes.
For this project I also used leather for the first time ever. I used a fairly cheap "lesser" quality leather and blanket stitched all the raw edges with red embroidery thread. I also installed metal grommets and thick hardware clasps for the straps. I really like how the leather pieces turned out!
I have to thank my helper, Toe Toe, for helping me cut out all the yards and yards of circle skirts for this dress. I can't wait to install my dress in the GRAM on October the 17th!
