Instead of cutting off the end of blanket stitch, I extend the fishing line to create loop at the end.
The loops are hooked on the plastic twist ties attached to the cord.
As a class, we visited local recycling center to source leftover materials. This light exploration project started out by collecting felt sheets. I was fascinated by how light can elevate the texture of felt. After transforming these sheets of felt into volumetric forms. I decided to use this material and make a series of pendant lights in variety of colors.
The mold is simply made of paper pipes, wooden sticks and tin clips, collected from the scrap bins in our department building.
While the felt is still wet from stiffening, I wrap it around the mold and fix it with two staples and four tin clips. The wrinkles and volume begin to take shape and eventually become stiff.
