hi,

I’m doing a project which requires me to decorate a small object (about 20cm square) to communicate a word - mine is Retro.

So i need to think of different things associated with retro, but i’m having a bit of trouble. I’ve been googling 1960’s and 70’s fashion and getting a bit of a clue, but still need more stuff…

so far i’ve come up with the following ideas:

fake fur (i think there’s a type that looks old, maybe bright colours?)

mirrors to represent disco balls, so lots of little pieces.

sequins

psychadelic patterns

hippie flower patterns

obviously colours will be really important…

anyone got ideas of what else characterises retro? i guess the hippie movement is grouped with it too.

thanks

stu
