Easter wreath

 
I apologize for the picture. I did not flip this picture over.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I took apart the eggs and realized that they were glued on. I did not like the fact that their was material stuck to the objecct I wanted to use.

 
I ended up cutting of the head, sewing it back together and placing it in my final project.
 
 
 
 

Purple floral shirt


 
I choose this shirt because of the floral material you see in lighter purple.
 
 
 
 
 
The ruffle look this gives was amazing. I did try to take this apart but it was very difficult.
 
 
 
I just took the floral purple flowers and placed all around the clouds.

Superman!!


I had a hard time trying to find a stuff figure to disassemble. I got this at Sonic with their kids meal.
 
 
 
 
I had to cut open the top to get to the threaded portion of this thing. 
 
 
I pulled the inside out to have a better look at the design. I found it rather difficult to try to pry apart the thread so I decided to leave it this way.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I used my superman as a concept. I call this Superman lost in the clouds.
 
 
 



Scarf deconstruction


As you can see there were 3 different color components on the scarf.
 
 
 
I decided to pull apart the 3 colors.
 
 
 
 
 
 Decided to make a snake with one of the pieces from the scarf.
 
 
Snake on a hill.
 
 


Glove deconstruction

 
 
I first split open the glove and then striped all the excess thread that was attached.
 
 
 
 
I ripped apart the glove into 4 parts. I was surprised to see that the thumb(the hole you see) came apart so easily.
 
 
You can see the glove at the very bottom of this picture. The glove is saying I love you.
 
 
 
 


Pillow Destruction







The pillow was very hard to pull apart. Apparently, whoever stiched this pillow up did a double stich. 

 
 
I mainly just used the stuffing from the pillow to create a cloud.

Corey Godfrey





        













 I found Corey Godfrey's art very interesting. I saw some of his pieces at a coffee shop once and was amazed. He uses a lot of soft materials, but I am interested in the pieces that use yarn. I wish I had the patients to create something as beautiful as the two pieces above. When I think of yarn I picture knitting, but now I picture knitting and canvas art with a twist.
