okay so I've tried two different versions of the nets - one made of shoelace and one made of bicycle inner tube. They look pretty cool though I've lent out the camera today so I cannot take a photo. I've scanned them here. They are quite loosely woven but both sides get scanned so you don't get the effect. The rubber one is very masculine ( looks like an advanced slingshot device). They are both the size of an ice cream cone/ pocket. I'll bring them tomorrow. Sorry - the scans really don't do them much justice. I am going to try some colored ones tonight.
The buttons are not looking good so I was thinking we make our own button system - call them connectors - that are more similar to the cogs in visual language. Can we all put some thoughts to how that could look/work as an alternative? Will bring the buttons tomorrow to show.
I've adjusted the settings so that everyone should get e-mail notifications when something is commented. Could you please confirm when you get this one so that we know it's working? :) Thx, s
ReplyDeleteperhaps we could make them out of wood? I don't know, just liking the natural look of your nets, and would love to stay away from plastic...
ReplyDeleteneed to keep them flexible. I have some bright fabrics that I am going to try. I like how these simulate a pocket. The rubber one is sturdy enough to be thrown around or to hang on a backpack . Can totally see a boy using it as a hacky-sack.... The one made of laces is super flexible and soft to carry in a pocket.
ReplyDeletei like the shape of them a lot! do you think the pattern can be less busy (or maybe it's just the dark colour) and just wondering whether it's flexible enough to flip it around?
ReplyDeleteemailing comments is working.
ReplyDeleteI know - they look really busy in the scan - better in real life. They both turn inside out really well though. The materials don't overlay as well as yarn so the simple pattern looks busier. I will think of more materials too explore. s
