- During last term, I have thought about attaching large spikes to the 'black' side of the vest, however, if I make large spikes with fabric and stuffings, the spikes won't have a sharp edge, instead the spikes would be soft and lumpy, therefore, I thought about using yarn wires like I did in the first term - The yarn wires are hard and sharp, while also conveying movement with its curves - At first, I haven't thought about what fabric I would like to use on the other side of the vest -> I thought about dying the fabric with pink, blue and purple, but there aren't any fabric dye in the art shop in town, therefore I searched around the fabric store for fabrics with multiple colours - In the fabric shop, I have encountered two different 'rainbow blended' fabrics, one of the fabric's colours are more vibrant, while the other one's colour is more soft -> I think that the softer 'rainbow blended' fabric will suit my vest well, as I am trying to convey backstabbing, the colours act us multiple players that create a harmony like surrounding, and looks like they're blending in really well, not knowing what is hidden underneath all of the cheerful looking surface 13 May 2019- I have cut out a waist vest pattern and sewed the 'rainbow' side and black side without attaching them yet 14 May 2019- I have started attaching the two pieces together, in the same way I did with the cloak - However, after sewing them together, I realised that I could not turn it inside out, therefore, I revisited the instructions and realised that I should not have sewn the sides together - I have unpicked the sides and followed the instructions, which then I was able to turn the vest inside-out 15 May 2019- I have put stuffings between the two sides of the vest, and sewn the hole together to secure the stuffings in the vest - I have then inserted the yarn wires in the vest Reflection- When I’m wearing the vest with the rainbow outer layer, people would think that I’m in a good friendship with several friends and things seem wonderful, but there’s these wires stabbing into my back
-> furthermore, the stuffings make the vest look like a 'life jacket', where it makes you feel like you're saved and comforting, like a big soft cushion - When I reverse it, people will notice these wires, and how these darkness are invading me and making me feel more distant to others in a literal sense, as they would get hurt if they stand too close to the vest
