GISUBIZO Handbags by using Self-Cleaning Fabric Development¶
Idea collage¶
I selected these three images for my Idea Collage because they capture the fundamental elements of this project. The first image, of the imigwegwe leaf, symbolizes the raw, natural material that forms the foundation of the process. It highlights the beauty and sustainability of working with fibers derived directly from nature. The second image depicts the transformation of agave leaves into yarns, showcasing the innovative craftsmanship required to turn raw fibers into versatile materials. Lastly, the third image of an agaseke basket represents the cultural and artistic significance of imigwegwe, illustrating one of the many beautiful and functional products that can be created from this remarkable fiber.
