Watermelons

I then thought that it would be important to see if Watermelons ahve been a source of inspiration for any sort of garment or trend.

I did come across the vans in the three different styles they have to offer.

This gave me the idea to experiment with every part of the watermelon, which included experimenting with seeds.

I then started to see what I could do with seeds, so I glued some on in a certain way to make them appear as a belt-like accessory or I would sew them onto fabric with different coloured thread to see what kind of effect could be created. Overall, the seeds became my main focus as I thought that there were more fields I could enter with using seeds than rather sticking to watermelon skin.

Watermelons:Introduction

I LOVE WATERMELONS

So I was tidying up my room baring in mind that I had no inspiration for my next Unit that I had started. Picking up stuff, I came across the watermelon skin left on my floor.(don't ask why)...I thought wow, I could use this as a source of inspiration as Charlotte said find an inspiration in anything.

So I went along and saved some watermelon skin and used them to see what kind of experiments I could do and what I could create out of it.

I then went on to do some research on watermelons to discover that they come in different shapes:

These are watermelons produced in Japan which are grown in square glas containers to make it much easier to stack on shelves. They are known for their difference in shape a well as cost twice as much.

I was a bit sceptical about using watermelons as a main source of inspiration as I was not sure how much I can derive from it.

However I was proved wrong.
