I have amended my initial idea for a stripe involving scissors to create something more subtle. Ideally, the dotted stripe would be very infrequent if produced in cloth form, so that it could barely be noticed.
I found this satchel-style handbag at a vintage warehouse in the town of Birmingham. I knew that I liked it, but wasn't sure if it was really me. As I came to leave, I returned to the bag, and decided to give it a go. The bag originally had a carry handle at the top, and I presume was intended to be carried in the style of a briefcase. I decided to remove this, and add a new handle myself, from an old handbag. I then personalised it by cutting my scissor emblem in black vinyl and applying it to the front, giving it a new lease of life.
Currently, I have only basic knowledge about the process of screen printing, and certainly don't have the facilities. So, in order to complete the design of this hoody, I had to hand-paint (Dylon I love you) each scissor onto it individually. This was more of an experiment to assertain how effective the scissor could be as a repeat print.
