Dreaming
The Wonder Suit
I want to cover a formal suit in brooches, crystals, metal, and stones until it throws light in every direction. First problem: weight. Second problem: nobody should lose an eye.

DREAMING / CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN
The Wonder Suit
A dossier before an object. Materials have been named. The workbench has not accepted them yet.
OBJECT RECORD
What exists, and what it does.

A formal suit becomes a portable chandelier. The first sample has one job: throw light without throwing hardware.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.
Direct flash with hard reflections
CONSTRUCTION RECORD
Where the surface meets the body.
Materials
Brooches, crystals, rhinestones, metal, gemstone, and refracted light
Weight or current measure
The weight question will decide the structure.
Construction
Begin with removable clusters on a supported panel. Weight and edge behavior decide the final attachment.
Wear
The first panel must move without sharp edges reaching the body.
Care
Separate hard surfaces during storage once samples exist.
