TR Masterklas - 5. zadatak / TR Masterclass - task 5

Nastavljam da vas informišem o svom radu u TR Masterklasu. Novi zadatak je podrazumevao kreiranje sopstvenog dizajna, korišćenjem principa koje smo savladali u prethodnim koracima. Dakle, trebalo je napraviti bluzu bez rukava, koja bi imala nabore i valove, kao i džep u šavu.

I keep informing you of my work for the TR Masterclass. New task was to make an original design, by using the principles we've learned so far. We were supposed to make a bodice with gathers and flounces, that would incorporate an in-seam pocket.

Ovaj put, inspiraciju sam našla u op artu i fenomenalnim slikama Viktora Vasarelija. 

Ne sećam se da li sam već pominjala svoju opsesiju ovim slikarom. Op artom sam bila fascinirana i pre nego što sam čula za Vasarelija. Crtkala sam trodimenzionalne sfere i slične oblike, sve dok mi jednog dana prijatelj nije rekao da kopiram Vasarelija! Pomislih - ne kopiram ja nikog, ovo je moj crtež! Kada sam videla sličnost sa njegovim slikama, shvatih da sam zakasnila s idejom. Ali, od onda pomno proučavam Vasarelija i smišljam kako da njegove optičke iluzije prenesem na meni prijemčiviji medij - garderobu. 

This time I found an inspiration in op art and fantastic paintings of Victor Vasarely.

Have I mentioned before my obsession by this painter? Well, I was stunned by op art before I've heard of Vasarely. I used to draw 3-dimensional spheres and similar shapes when a friend said that I had copied Vasarely! I remember thinking it was my original drawing, not some copy cat! When I saw the similarity with his paintings I knew I was late with the idea. However, I've been studying Vasarely ever since, and thinking of ways to transfer his optical illusions to a new medium - garments.

I evo kako to izgleda u mojoj interpretaciji. Nije baš vrtoglavo kao Vasarelijeve slike, ali uzmite u obzir da mi je ovo prvi put da šijem op art ;-). Iskustvo u šivenju pačvorka mi je prilično pomoglo. 

Kao što vidite, ja sam dodala dva džepa - jedan ispod pazuha i drugi na leđa (kad već ludujem sa dizajnom, što ne bih dodatno začinila stvari?). 

Here's how it looks in my interpretation. It's not as vertiginous as Vasarely's paintings are, but have on mind this was my first time sewing op art ;-). My patchwork sewing experience helped a lot.

As you can see, I added two pockets - one under the arm and the other one on the back (well, since I'm making a crazy pattern, why not making thing more spicy?).

Val sam dodala na rukav, ali sigurno se pitate gde su nabori. Evo ih: svaki roze pravougaonik je gusto nabran pre nego što je ušiven u bluzu. Koristila sam sintetički muslin koji se fenomenalno drapira.

I added a flounce to the sleeve, but you must have been wondering where the gathers were. Well, here they are: each pink rectangle was heavily gathered before it was sewn in blouse. I used a synthetic chiffon that drapes well.

Ovaj kroj bukvalno jede konac! Namotala sam 5 špulni konca, i sve sam ih potrošila! Zamislite tek koliko bi konca otišlo da sam sašila takvu haljinu....

The pattern literally eats thread! I whined thread to 5 bobbins and used them all! Imagine how much thread I'd use if I was sewing a dress like this one...
