There will be one central figure and several portraits on this work. The figure is hooked high so that the person has dimension. You can see the blue quilt is also dimensional. In the photo below I have placed netting over the hooked contents of the bag just to see how it was going to look. I have now "filled" the bag and sewn the netting in place.
Moving on beyond the sculpted elephant, I have hooked a flat bag and then a dimensional one. For the dimensional bag I actually hooked just the contents of the bag making certain that the elements were hooked to differing heights. I wanted the netting to go over the contents and give the impression that the bag was stuffed with objects. I am working on other aspects of this project and will come back to revisit the way the bag will appear to hang on the cart.
