"I love the 90's"- portfolio knitwear project

May I just begin by saying--- I LOVE SNOW DAYS! Yesterday, due to a nice and frosty mini blizzard, school was canceled!! It was awesome! It gave me a whole day to get Valentine's out which was really fun. Too bad I didn't have time to bake treats to go with them... Anyways, I did brave the conditions for a Brooklyn Bagel and post office run, but after that I was content to sit in front of my window and watch it snow the rest of the day...it was lovely.

After couture sewing tonight, I FINALLY headed to the computer lab to use the scanner... Here is my final art project from last semester- a knitwear collection inspired by classic 90's teen movies and tv shows.

One of my top 5 goals for this semester is to turn my closet into an identical copy of Liv Tyler's from the 90's. HELP ME!

There were a lot of directions with this project- not only did we have to choose a decade as a jumping off point for inspiration, but we also had to choose an artist to inspire our color palette. I don't really like to be pushed in so many inspirational directions, but it did lead me to the work of Andrew Hem (seen in my color story page). If you haven't heard of him, check out some of his work, I really like it.
