Wearable Sculpture

For this assignment I created a viking-esque helmet covered in flowers, and pastel colors. I made the base out of chicken wire that I cut and shaped into a horns and a helmet, then i wove in white ribbons, purple raffia, and green string into the horns and pink ribbon all around the bottom part of the base off the helmet, after that I attached the top of some fake flowers on pipe cleaners and added them to the top of the helmet, like they were growing off of it. I chose to do this because I wanted to show the irony of having something so often associated with violence and destruction covered with something happy, peaceful, and calm. My project didn't really evolve that much as I was actually creating it but the idea itself was maybe my third or fourth while trying to make this project, originally I started a clown themed hat with balloons but decided to change it up. If I was to continue working on this, which I am hoping to do, I would add more flowers and pink around the base, but all in all I am fairly proud of what I created.
