'Calligraphy' Swimwear



I wasn't sure what to call this - I felt a bikini implied something slightly more skimpy than this, but I didn't think it was a tankini either. In the end I just decided on swimwear. It is inspired by a piece of calligraphy by a calligrapher called Renate Fuhrmann which was done using wood tar on a black background. The letters look a sort of golden colour against it. The words were in German, but translate as something like 'I will be who I am.' I used some of the letters from the German words for this design. The top half uses half of an 'I' and a 'C' and the bottom half uses a 'W' The design is intended to be made out of a lightweight wetsuit neoprene, with the letters appliqued on. The top half would fasten with a zip at the back.

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
