Thought...
Jun. 22nd, 2007 10:43 amI was thinking about my next art project in glass class. I want to make another 3d object BUT I want it to incorporate knitting somehow. something about the sts being a part of the glass... don't know if it is possible but I want to try.
So question.. what do you think would work better to get an impression out of plaster or clay.. knitting tightly? or knitting with a particular fiber? do you think cotton would be more likely to leave an imprint.. or linen? hemp? or acrylic? I am guessing that wool would be too elastic and not imprint as much. Your thoughts on this would be great.
I know this seems out there... but this is the thought process so far. Knit a mini sweater (like one of those mini sweater ornaments people hang on their trees) and then fill it with clay to make it 3d. (or maybe.. depending on how thick it was.. not) then making a mold of it and filling it with glass. I would love to see a little army of glass sweaters hanging out. I might even turn them into an ornament.. but most likley would have it hanging out with my other glass objets d'art. Me and my art glass problem.. I have such a crazy problem with art glass.
