Problem - Design a purse using any
textile technique of your choosing that tells something about your
personality or that of someone you select, (i.e. ... a celebrity, friend, relative). Your project should measure between 8.5" L x 3-4" W x 10.5" H
(smallest) to 14" L x 5-8" W x 18" H (largest), these dimensions include handles.
Process & Development -
Purses, how do we perceive them? As a fashion statement?
As a communication device? What is their form or function? How do we use them?
How do different cultures see or use the purse? Who has carried them over the
centuries and how or why? What are other names for purses? Make some notes
about how you feel about the purse and materials you might use to construct your
project.
