Well, coming back to the subject - I had a dream idea of building my own launderette. With drying-racks, fake plants, soap dispenser and the sign - JONC'S LAUNDRETTE - because, I just remembered now - firstly, I wanted to make socks and socks look great on drying rope. Then the launderette idea followed.
But then I learned, that making socks without HOURS of stitching, embroidering or sewing on patches and somehow achieving a result in which they would look at least as good as Primark socks for the ridiculous prize of hand-sewn socks (or knitted! I failed at accomplishing that too) is only possible via professional 'printing' company specialising at delivering socks designed by you.
Yes, I contacted them.
I failed - I simply do not have enough money and unfortunately time-machines haven't been invented yet. The cost of one pair was manageable from the quantities of 400 - that means, I would pay around £1000 for the service - and then still I would have to wait around 2 months, what was way past my deadline. Such a shame, I got really excited about selling socks.
I really want to have them done one day. Especially the birdy-one and eye-one - as you will see, eyes are my obsession.
But I had a back-up idea (thanks God for being negative and overthinking, actually), so the laser-cut buttons took place of the socks and the knitting failure turned into crocheting poor skills (I made badges. I do not like them and I won't post them!).
But I was so sure about the launderette. I even wanted to dress myself in pure white clothes and smell like a fabric conditioner from a mile to be recognised.
However, the day has only 24 hrs and the venue was tiny - and I didn't want to be a DIVA and took a lot of space - so, first the sign was cropped out, then the whole experience of washing soap dispenser and putting tokens into a washing machine, so did the fake plants went to the bin, and the drying racks (since the socks sustained to be only one of my dreams) definitely became useless.
So, the only thing which was left is... The washing machine. Tiny one, due to The Nines giving us a cupboard sized venue to sell our goodies. But it had the door and an AWESOME salad-spinner hand-powered device - and it really did look like it's washing clothes.
TAKE A LOOK AT MY SNAPCHAT VIDEOS - they are the best describing the fun I had and how the process of mastering my washing machine looked like. Some images might be harmful if you are not used to my face. Enjoy.
I genuinely forgot, how much I like 3D forms - and I managed to combine illustration and my past 3D focused practice at my upper secondary art school in this playful thing. I learned a lot and I would use that experience again. You'll see!
