A project I did when I was in High School... 0w0

Well one day... actually a couple of days ago.... -__-.... I was rummaging through my 1.5 tb external hard drive when I came across a folder that had all my high school projects in it.... OoO.... And I found something I made actually as an individual project, but when my school was holding a recycled exhibition, I gladly submitted it to be viewed by my fellow schoolmates.... ^^.... I made three dresses out of recycled things I found at my house which are newspapers, colorful plastic bags and garbage bags..... I actually had fun making these.... Oh and I used a pillow as a base for the body so I didn't have to put them on any mannequins.... Here they are !!! => 
  This was the hardest one to make because I had to hand fold each one of the fans and glue a ton of strips of blue tissue papers across the top.... -__-;.... Then the bodice was folded and glued with darts to give it shape.... and if you've noticed it's made with Chinese newspapers because that's the only ones we have lying in our house.... But I picked the spreads that had more color on it.... It was pre-tty heavy after it was finished...T__T
This is the second one I made out of all the colorful bags I found in our house.... It was kinda sad that I had to give up some of my kawaii bags that had my favorite characters on it.... T__T.... but oh wellz... it was for the sake of this project..... I think was more simple and abstract in many ways.... ^^
This was my favorite one..... Not only was it simple, it looked wearable... I used both black and white garbage bags to construct it and for the black fan off to the side.... I used newspaper to make it stiff.... The red belt really tied it together.... donated by my mom from her closet.... ^^.... I think for a high school-er it came out looking pretty good.... What do you think? (^w^)/
