Wool Felt Belt Design

•

I was planing a design related to covid, but couldn't come out with one. Then a flash of an idea came upon me when I got a limited edition mask from Kingston x CSD. Their design, color, and soft texture surprised me. Therefore, putting the top of its nonwoven fabric on wool is the initial concept for all.

However cause of this concept, I was trying to puzzle out what kind of design can be better. On a stressful night, I couldn't fall asleep, suddenly around 1am this design came to my mind. I turn on the lamp and quickly drew the sketch. And this is how project design began.

In the design, continuing using the tiny tiny balls in the project as a specific design as well. Also using three different saturated pinks to emphasize the tiny balls behind. In this pink felt you can see a face there, and its hair(the curls parts).

And why there is a face? Why used these colors and there are some hoops connections?

The whole pandemic is crazy and it destroys people's life including children. They know nothing, but they have to wear masks since they are small and cannot go out to play in the park. We all know children need to play and run, they have too much energy. Most of us have been in the lockdown situation before or now still, so I used the hoops to describe that stay home, cannot go out to anywhere.

The entire time till now it is not ended yet, we are still fighting. Therefore, I used red balls and cords making a sad face to emphasize what we have been through. However, we need to keep positive and be smart enough to gauge the real true news and situation. And the tassel for me is a calm and peaceful feeling.
