Week Two
Capturing motion out of inanimate materials is a challenge. Wanting to depict the movement of water I didn't want to just draw a picture of waves. To me movement in this piece was to move colour from the deep dark depth of the ocean up to the peaks of a white cap. This would enable to allow the dancer to bring the piece to life.
Water Tutu we made for my youngest. It features a lot of hand dyed tule and lace to ombré
a dark depth up to white caps. All appliqué of lace is hand sewn. The inspiration of a white cap wave hits the outskirts of the plate and rolls upwards to onside of the sweetheart neck.

Bodice fabric is a cotton with textured imprinted circles which to me represented bubbles rising from the bottom of the sea floor.
I think she loves it!
