Description
The Tic Tac Toe Bag plays with symmetry, obsession, and chaos: crocheted broken red hearts and watching eyes locked in an endless match.
Design Complexity
Crocheted Characters:
Each heart and eye is handmade from layered yarn and finished with glassy beads to mimic shine and depth. The hearts are stitched to look cracked and raw, while the eyes stare out from every direction.
Game Layout:
Inspired by the layout of a tic tac toe grid, but weirder. The “players” (eyes vs. broken hearts) remain locked in a draw, representing duality: emotion vs. reason, love vs. obsession.
Textural Layers:
Built on a black velvet base framed with thick red crochet, giving the piece both structure and softness.
Artistic Intention:
A soft sculpture disguised as a bag. It questions the idea of winning, because here, no one does.
Fit & Feel
Structured yet soft, with a wide strap for comfort. Spacious enough for lots of things. Best used as an art piece or statement accessory.
Materials
Acrylic and cotton yarns, glass beads, hand embroidery, mixed fibers. Handmade in a smoke-free studio.
Care
Avoid water and friction to preserve the beadwork and velvet. Spot clean only.
