FINAL PROJECT.
For this last assignment, we had to make our own monogram by using our first letter of our names, like my name is Nur Ilana so I have to use 'N' and 'I' to create my monogram. Then, after done choosing which design I have to choose 5 items that need to put my monogram on it. My items that I will be using is a hat,a t-shirt,a mug, a stamp/sculpture and a canvas backpack.

Monogram I choosen
In process of doing my assignment:
1) Hats - I decided to stitch it to make the shape of my monogram. It took me a lot of time because of the try and errors that had happen.
At first I use a very thin string which it did not turn out really nice so I have to cut it and remove the thread to make another one. So I decided to use a wool thread to make it look bigger and stand out.
This is the outcome. It kind look nice for me and very different from others people who always wear this type of hat because my hats has my own design/monogram.
2) Canvas Backpack - Since I already experience using gloss paint on a cartridge paper so I wanted to try on a canvas backpack.
An instant design for my backpack.
I covered the part that I don't want to be disturb (by using a wiring tape)
By doing a marbling method.
Transfer process.
Remove the tape (Part 1)
Remove the tape (Part 2)
The outcome.
I paint my monogram by using a gloss paint and the outline I used a liquid paper.
3) Mug - I used the mug that I have in the kitchen and I try using the gloss paint to transfer my monogram even though the description say it is for wood and metal.
It seem that the gloss paint can be used on ceramic too. The texture was not flat but it give the different atmosphere when you see the monogram.
4) Stamp/ Sculpture - At first I want to use a rubber block or a big eraser to make as a stamp but then I could not find it anywhere, So I change material which a modeling clay that might be a stamp and also it can become as a sculpture.
The material I used.
After I leave it dry for 1 day, it turn quite well and it is really had been hardened.
I try to stamp on a excess mounting board that I had, it turn out quite okay but when I try on my poster it did not appear. (The experiment on the excess mounting board is in my sketchbook)
5) T-shirt - I use my own t-shirt (because I want to save money) and felt fabric. The felt fabric is to make the shape of my monogram.
The placed the felt fabric at the back of the t-shirt because I put in front and on center it will look so normal. I stitch the felt fabric.
The poster - I make the repetition of my monogram on the Grey mounting board A3 size. However I make the shape by using the soldering tools.
Soldering time! (Part 1)
(Part 2)
It seems that I injured myself again. I accidentally touch the hot part and it is really painful.
Finally done!
I spray the shaving cream at the size of A3 size, then I put some food colouring on top of it.
I placed my poster on the shaving cream mix with food colouring (same method doing the marbling)
The final result. However the smell of mixture of the shaving cream and food colouring was not really nice.
