I need to design a costume for a child that illustrates the nursery rhyme, "Hickory Dickory Dock". I think ironing images onto a shirt and pants will be the best way to acheive that, so that the overall costume will be a grandfather clock. On the front of the T-shirt, I would like an image that resembles a grandfather clock face (with the time at 1:00), which could have human facial features (eyes, nose, etc). This should be "cartoony" like an illustration that one might find in a nursery rhyme book. For the pants, a cartoon or real-looking mouse (or mice) would be running up or down the leg.
Using the same woodwork or grandfather clock type of design make applique to go down the arms and legs (optional?)
(I don't know what applique is, I got this instruction from my wife) If you know what this is, and make it so my wife likes it, there will be a bonus in it for you.
The background color of the shirt and pants will most likely be a brown color.
Here is an example of a clock face I found on the internet. Your design can be as similar or as different as you want.
This needs to be done by early next week, so unfortunately, this will be a short contest, as I will need time to print and iron.
Let me know of any questions you have, and I look forward to seeing your work!
Recap: All images need to be big enough to print on a kids T-shirt and pants.
1. Hickory Dickory Dock clock face. Cartoony. Time - 1:00
2. Mouse or mice running up or down
3. (bonus if done) Applique
Finally, if you don't know the nursery rhyme, here it is:
Quote:
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory dock.
