Instead of showing hours I figured the best way to show what I have been doing is to show images of my progress.
The rhino model that I made- the concept was to use one sheet and drape it in a manner so that the fabric itself acted as the table top and leg at the same time.
cutting of the full scale model itself.
Attempted to see how the concrete cloth would drape by testing out thick felt. Looked somewhat promising.
Spring Break.
With the help of Parisa and Kayla I tried to see if the fabric would wrap around the model in different ways. That failed.
Testing of the actual fabric to see what simple shapes I can make. Also testing to see the strength of the material. After it hardened I stood on it and it didn't crack one bit!
Another sample test.
After all this I have decided to make an indoor/outdoor chaise lounge. I have realized that I will need to work with other materials including concrete cloth inorder to create my furniture. My revised thesis is that I want to showcase the lightness of the material and its ability to be indoor and outdoor. I have done market research and do not believe that there si a successful chaise lounge that is both visually pleasing and has these attributes. I plan on routing my model this week and purchasing teak to start building. I have also decided to make a simple coffee table to go with it.
That's all for now!
