FASHION CLOTHING DESIGN

Anisa Ozalp is an artist who loves Fashion and specializing in Clothing Design. In the Fashion Colors Course I attended at the end of 2020, students were assigned to use scrap fabric to create imagery. I used my creative perspective with colors and fabric textures to create unique outfits. Doing so was challenging because the scrap fabric was in a mixed pile and was timed on how efficiently we can create stylish attire.

The Fashion Design Certificate I have received from Shih Chien University was consist of the following courses:

1. Pattern Drafting and Dress Making

2. Fashion Illustration

3. Introduction to Dress Material

4. Study of Color in Fashion Design

5. Fashion Lecture

6. Fashion Design

CUSTOM PUPPETS

A puppet is a portable form of a person or creature typically moved either by strings commanded from over or by a hand inside it. At the beginning of 2021, I sparked interest in how to make your handmade puppets. I researched online, watched many videos on the topic, and found Adam Kreutinger to be the most resourceful to make custom puppets. I applied the puppet creators’ techniques and tips to my own and was pleased with the outcome. Finally, I created the Mini Puppet version of me! Monica The Puppet performs at Puppetwood Comedy on her YouTube Channel.

​​​​​​​EMBROIDERY MAKING

Embroidery is the ability to decorate fabric or other forms using a needle to apply thread or yarn. Embroidery also can be incorporated into other materials such as pearls, beads, and sequins. In this collection, I experimented in 2020 with embroidery for my fashion design assignment. The goal was to embroidery something that represents me and how I see the world. My interpretation was to create colorful eyes and textures to describe my nature artistically.

​​​​​DOLL MAKING

Handmade dolls can be made from different materials such as cotton, wool, linen, felt, muslin, yarn, and buttons. They can be hand sewn, machine sewn or knitted. In this collection, I handmade dolls in 2015. I purchased a Singer sewing machine to create the felt dolls, including characters from my favorite movies, athletes, and YouTubers. My first handmade doll was named “Brownie,” made from old clothing and buttons. My latest handmade doll was a crocheted fox called “Foxy.”

​​​​​CROCHET MAKING

Crochet creates textiles using a crochet hook to interlock yarn, thread, or strands of other materials. In 2019 I made some toys, cute little foods, fruits, hats, purses utilizing crochet. I was inspired by the 100 Days of Mini Amigurumi book by Lauren Espy- A Menagerie of Stitches. Amigurumi 編みぐるみ, lit. “crocheted or knitted stuffed toy” is the Japanese craft of knitting or crocheting little, stuffed yarn creatures. Do you have crochet project ideas you need help with?

​​​​​FELT TOYS MAKING

In this collection, I made some felt toys in 2016, utilizing some felt fabrics. I had an interest in making mini food objects and referenced Sew Mini Treats Book by Klutz.​​​​​​​

CUSTOMIZED SNEAKERS

Custom sneakers are a huge part of sneaker culture

I am customizing sneakers and shoes using Angelus leather paint to add my style and design to spruce it up in this collection! I will be using leather care products and Nike Air Force One. You can follow up on the process and my recommendations here.
