Susan and I have been testing dying our fabric choice this past week to see how the look and feel changes the shape of the origami shape. We both feel that the dyed fabric looks more friendly and inviting then the plain white fabric that we had from before. We also tried sewing four pieces of fabric together to see if the stitching would match up with the folds and later on when we put in a zipper or other application. After testing this out, we found that the four sewn pieces was successful. We are looking at other color choices and having multiple color and also if the sewn pieces would be different if we had six pieces sewn together. We are also researching to see if we can incorporate more shapes into our origami.
i know i wasnt in your group this week but i am interested to know how are you 'marketing' this piece...in other words, who is it for, why will they want to use it, what will they use it for?...it will help make the concept much more clear once i get that.
