Context development

This is my finished final piece for context.


I am pleased with the outcome because as well as making the pieces out of wood to create a whole outfit I have also painted them in a manner that is suitable because the appearance is appealing, but as soon as you see and touch the wood it isn't what it appears to be.
I have added a small touch of fabric, pom poms to make it more deceiving  But also because it makes the hat look the way it should, because I couldn't make it look right with wood.

I have displayed my final piece in a moses basket, because it appears to represent the happiness of children and family. Until you feel the materials and know what the piece is about.


Whilst creating these pieces I encountered a problem with keeping every piece in proportion with the others. I soon overcame this problem by going into a baby clothes store and looking at clothes and I discovered that the dress will always look too big, because for babies they are shapeless.


If I had the chance to do it again, I would possibly make more clothes out of another material. Such as metal.
