My partner is zillin, I'm more interested in three point from the questionaire
-hate people lying to her, but sometimes she would lie to others
-also like LA,because she feel very comfortable ,all the body has been relaxed, enjoy the sea , sand.
-like buying new clothes.
-like flowers.
I find the first two characteristics are a bit contradictory like different sides of personality I want to use clothes as a carrier to reflect these two Changes in personality.
I tried to find the soft feeling she liked, I used bath flowers to make sample like a wave feel and then sewed some beads to represent the sand, and used a combination of sponges and beaded stockings to try to make her comfortable feeling when she lying in the sand.

I find that she hates the behavior of others lying and she also lying is particularly contradictory.I start to think about 'DEATH DRIVE' .Deathdrive also called attack instinct ,destroying impulse and the impulse of the person itself. when our impulses can not be released to the outside world,sometimes they will turn to themselves, such as to do harm to themselves like self-harm and so on... Freud thought that this instinct of death managed to bring the individual to death because there was real calm, just as for Zilin it was the comfort that LA brought her, and her own act of lying was an impulse to release herself.
When she lies, she's like her favorite flower slowly withering to death . I'm starting to think about how to make this personality change reflect on the clothes. I think she likes to buy clothes like throwing away of herself in th past. overtime she change clothes is like throwing away her former self to accept the new character of the new self.
I started extracting some of the emotions she produced when she was deceived by someone.At first is angry,then she became upset and depression.I was really like the action of depression,when she took off he clothes,she would use clothes to cover all herself.And when she is angry ,she would leave her clothes up and throw on the floor.it really inspired me so I want to use the structure I extracted on the body with something on her head that would drop and cover her body.
Angry---Upset---depression (the face expression when she is lying)

Contextual Practice
When she was depressed,the behavior of she covered her clothes on the body is like a butterfly-breaking process that also represented a rebirth ,metamorphosis and welcomed the new herself .I made some beading combined with a little fluffy texture of sample.
.
I found that the structures I extracted were too big , but my samples were very detailed, so I thought about turning it straight to a tiara with a structure supporting a gauze skirt on my head, and I combined the shape and way of wearing some of the different hats from the 19th century, and then drew some rough sketches.v

This morning we learned how to make a version, which can help me very practical when i make a package and profile.
In the afternoon I made a quick model of the weight of the yarn that could support with aluminum wire, I wanted the dress to float off my head to cover the feeling of the bust, so I wanted to hold the whole yarn with a strap and I could fall off as soon as I taped the straps, but I tried and failed, and I thought it could fall if I stitched the waistline and the structure of the top head.
Experiment 1

I remade one based on yesterday's model and painted it all blacked out to look a little more whole and then I did some different material experiments on the facial structure, such as featherbath cloth, and so on.

Contextual Practice
I put the beads on the model that I sprayed yesterday and then I put it on the real person's head, adjusting the angle and spacing of the model on the face.I tried to add more decorative thing at face surface but it is a little bit messy so just keep the beads on.

I summed up some of the things I can improve on in this project.
-LA's pre-research and soft texture I should sum up a little more other that soft materials can be used.
-La color not using in outcome.
-The concept is not clear about death drive,it can be extended to the butterfly break so that the relationship the whole and logic will be stronger.
-It can refine a little bit of the finished product ,I feel like every element piled together.
-hat research can be more deep,for example, how to make structure will be better,part of the shape of the mask research is a little missing.If I do it,it I have more structure can be used. And the way wearing can also be improved.
