Where you inspired by the theme "made of money" ?
Yes I was, I wanted to link it with the theme of Love as I noticed people attraction for money.
How did you get started ?
I started by drawing, I have worked around the design to link it with love. I also researched at the V&A, I looked at antique money and shape of dresses.
Tell us about your dress, what material did you use ?
I used a Victorian shape for my dress with the crinoline and then embellished it with notes folded into heart shapes. It took a week and the help of 5 of my friends, art students, to finish it. I used calico, wires and laser printed paper.
How was it to work on a budget ?
It was difficult, I went over budget. but it worth it !
How do you feel about showing your work ?
I haven't really think about that. But I think people will like my work, so I guess I am pretty excited.
A last word ?
I learned how difficult and time consuming it is to work on such a detailed piece. However I loved the result and the emotional sensation.
