Creative Thinking

My Artifact: spider web shoes

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when I choose to embroider and sew on beads to shoes taking inspiration from someone embroidering a spider web with beads. I then thought of putting it on shoes building on there idea by putting it on something else. When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I try to take inspiration from different things to help create space in my mind to be creative. I can persevere over time to develop my ideas, and I expect setbacks and failure, but use that to develop my ideas. if you make a mistake it is a change to create that into something or the mistake makes the project look better. This project has some stitch’s that I didn’t mean to do but turned out fine.
