Journey

The following content includes the adventure and journey of my project, along with context.
Purchasing Materials
Here I am at a popular store called; "Tamer and Tamara" in Jeddah, where I purchased the beads for my designs from.
Working on Hoodie #1: "Heart of Triangles"
The front of the hoodie reveals 3 tie-dye designs, one of which is a heart (the heart was done using a paintbrush and clorox bleach). While the back also consists of a heart, (using clorox bleach), and above it are hand-stitched triangles, and that is what I am doing in the video below. Finally, there are a few beads around the heart.
Working on Hoodie #2: "The Hooded Spiral"
This design showcases a spiral tie-dye design (by tie-dying the hoodie with Clorox bleach and the spiral method), along with beads dangling at the ropes of the hoodie and which was done through taping a needle with the wire of the beads and having the wire go through the hoodie. The following videos will show the tie-dying process and the process of connecting the bead's wire with the needle.
Working on Hoodie #3: "The Necklaced Hoodie"
The third and final design reveals two long strands of beads dangling extending to the front. One of the two strands was hand-stitched onto the hoodie, while the other wasn’t. And the same was for the front of the hoodie, one was stitched while the other wasn't appearing as a necklace. Stitching the beads was done by having the thread and needle go through the bead and then into the hoodie, then tying it to the first thread twice.
