'Devon Moths' Waistcoat

I can't make up my mind about this design, I'm not sure whether I like it or not. I've walked away from the computer and come back to it a few times to try and see if I can decide, but I still can't, so in the end I decided to post it anyway, because I haven't got another design that I can post instead this week.

The inspiration behind it is from a leaflet I got a little while back for 'Devon Moths.' Small, very detailed sculptures of moths, made from fallen trees. They were such an unusual idea that they really caught my eye and so I decided to do a design based around them.

This design uses the colours of one of the moths and also loosely uses the moth's shape in the shapes of the coloured areas on the waistcoat. The waistcoat has a black collar and is fastened with a row of black covered buttons. There is embroidery in a rust colour, following the shapes of the orange areas.

I hope you liked this design, it is part of my 'Designs Inspired by Art' project. For more designs check back here next week or visit my special-occasion-wear blog at www.bronzedalebridaldesigns.blogspot.co.uk
