Plant theme character from future
Concept:
In the future, climate change will have an increasing impact on the environment and in order to combat this we want to create a character that can survive in harsh environments (cold/hot weather, natural disasters).
We want to make something that symbolizes nature and technology, and what better than having a character with a ‘cloth’ fitbit, glasses, green leaves around it, etc.
For the base, we want to have a felted ball, and then sew a covering on.
We also want to incorporate the pattern of green nature related symbols with our character (possibly as a handkerchief the character uses).
We want to create character that symbolize hope and survival in a harsh environment. In the future, we believe that many people would suffer from hunger and due to global warming, it would be very hard for people to survive. However, the character can symbolize survival in the environment.
We can use red fabric as the hair, similar to wildfire, and the character sits on a sea of water (as though there are ice polars melting).
They can have metallic wings (airplane – looking to symbolize future in technology like flying cars)
