I made a ballgown for this portion of my project. I wanted to make something that would reflect what my project is about and who I am as a person. Ever since i was a kid, I've always wanted to have my own gown. But because I never got one, I decided to make my own.The base of the dress is made of yellow balloon fabric. I chose the fabric because it has to do with my work and because the colour yellow has many meanings for me. the first logical explanation is that yellow is the colour of the sun. but yellow also reminds me of positive things, it is a bright, cheerful colour. The sun is also very important to the earth, just like the clouds. I made the blue accent piece by knitting different strips of blue and white fabrics together. The colour represents the sky and it's clouds. None of the rows i knit are the same, just like the clouds. My dress needed something to tie it together with my project, and knitting this was the perfect addition I needed. I learnt how to knit so i could finish the gown, I learnt something new.

And thats what my project is about. Learing something new to find different ways to express yourself.
