Trash Pants Pt. 2

So I'm finally updating on some of my work for CFC I and the trash pants. I've done a bit of work since my last update, and a bit of work since I took these pictures.

All in all, they are coming together pretty well, I've tried on the legs I have done and it's going to work pretty much like I want it to I believe. Now it's on to the crotch and butt. That's going to be the hard part, but I think I'll be able to make it all work for me. I am running low on milk bottles though, might have to incorporate in some OJ and apple juice bottles.

And now a run down of what has transpired...

Cleaning all the milk bottles.
This was with out a doubt the worst smell I have ever smelled in my entire life. Several of these bottles have been in the recycling bin in our back yard since September. Yes, almost 5 months. It was horrible, I never want to drink milk again (or at least not for a day or two). I opened them all and let them air for about 20 minutes. As I was taking the lids off these things, I was literally gagging. And I don't mean literally in the "I literally laughed to death" crap, I literally gagged. My gag reflex kicked in. Any more bottles, and I would have thrown up.
Literally.

They smell little to none now that they meet their match of hot water and soap.

The first leg section, it ended up being the second to the bottom left leg section. Still figuring out the best way to go about making these pants at this point. Creative juices curtsy of Heineken.

Just a close up of the twist tie fastening system. I'm also using bent up paper clips in some sections to insure rigidity and lack of wearer movement.

Workin'.

Left leg finished (almost).

A look down the left leg.

So the trash pants are a little further developed now (the right leg is nearly done) and now it's on to the butt and crotchal area. I'll be working on the suspenders this weekend at home (I'm making them out of old bicycle inner tubes!).


Oh and not really related to art, but I'm excited about it so here you go, I signed on an apartment here in A2 for next school year this week. So much nicer than my current house. A picture of what will be my room below, also the living room.

The bedroom from the window looking towards the door, closet, and walk in bathroom! (Yes, walk in bathroom.)

The living room.

Also, the floor plan. My room is the larger bedroom in the back right! Woo walk in bathroom!

Thanks for reading and apologizes to my CFC prof, John Marshall, that I didn't get this information up right away yesterday!
