IFB PROJECT #2: LET’S GET POETIC
A Haiku is a Japanese short poem made up of 3 phrases with 17 syllables in it divided into 5, 7, 5.
Example:
We come together
As independent bloggers
To share our knowledge

We want you to pick something out of your closet you love and write a haiku about it. Whether it be a pair of shoes or a dress, get creative!

Wondrous red coat
Hidden silk taffeta swish
Waiting for cold nights

I designed, draped, and sewed this coat my senior year at OTIS. It was for a project mentored by David Hayes.
Here is my illustration from then:
