Excellence in Design

Faces

Sherry J. Haar

Kansas State University

Faces, an art-to-wear skirt and knitted top, was created from multiple techniques of surface design, including sealing and painting fabric, free-motion stitching, dyeing, and knitting. Inspired by the emotions women show, and at times hide, the skirt imagery depicts faces emerging from abstract swirls of color created through paint and thread. Novelty yarn in a violet and aqua color scheme was used for the knitted top and guided the paint and thread color selections. This article presents the inspiration, process, and techniques used to create Faces.

Key Words: free-motion • stitching • wearable • art • thread • painting
