Project Convergence: Day 2, Design

On the second day, we began by looking at student sketches. Each student was asked to conceive a general plan of how to utilize his or her handwoven fabric. The idea was to bombing the fabric with a commercial fabric (to be purchased at Mood Fabrics), and to design either a mixed fabric art wear, or an ensemble. Here are their sketches or ideas:
