This was a project of experience for me; growing up, experiencing life, and learning to sew felt like it all came to this very creation of a creeper, an entity in the game Minecraft. I know that sounds funny but I hold everything with sentiment, often creating with it as well. The 2 day process of making this project just felt unreal, it felt like I was in the same room as the kid I once was.
Minecraft was a life changing game, so ahead of it’s time that it feels like it was the root of where this era is now. The game was genius and enabled me and many other creative souls, so I thought I would make this as an homage to it.
The design choice of making it entirely of patchwork was to symbolize the importance of keeping your youthful self in tact. The bittersweet story of age & human experience often leads to the loss of your younger self. If you lose sight of your younger self, you might find yourself lost forever. The melancholy stance and the eerie look on it’s face goes further into this notion.

unique patchworking
green canvas, denim, grey canvas, camo canvas, black denim
japanese-inspired white thread detailing
zipper pocket on the side of the head
zipper on the bottom of the base for adjustable stuffing
shoulder-strap on the back if you’d like to wear it (i’d love to see someone carrying this around, placing it next to them as they sit around, it would bring so much memory and thoughts to the people around and people would love to talk to you about it)
