Pearly Kings and Queens: Getting A Theme

Once we had established what Pearly Kings and Queens were, we were then told that we would be creating our ow version of a Pearly suit as part of a class competition. There would be three winners of this competition who would get their suit design put into production and displayed at the University Degree Show following which they would be displayed in the University Library.

Unlike the Pearlies however,we would use badges, like the ones below, rather than buttons for our suits.


We were then given several themes for our suit designs. My group picked renewable energy.Following much discussion and debate decided that we wanted to go with two mini themes within the heading of renewable energy which were solar power and recycling. We decided to cover the solar power idea by spelling out the words solar power on the suit and using badges to create solar panels on the suit. To cover the recycling part we decided to make the badges out of recycled crisp packets.
