Metallic Warrior
Siena Smania
Major: Astrobiology
Genre/Medium: sewing
About the work: When I began this project, I was going for a medieval warrior princess look; however, it ended up leaning more towards being something a Star Wars princess might wear, which is even better and definitely more appropriate. The metallic fabric of the dress is meant to emulate the metallic surface of the asteroid, along with the numerous gold accents in the piece. The entire dress was made and patterned from scratch, and although I’ve been sewing for many years, this is the first dress I’ve ever made. It definitely took a lot of trial and error, as well as “trusting the process”.
