These are my 1000x600 (ish) laser cut fabrics which I have been stitching into with wire and thread...I plan to hang these up tomorrow in hotspur and connect them to another group I have made... Just thought I would have a few snaps of the detail...
I have been keeping the colours limited, just to emphasise that Im not trying to decorate the fabric, I just want to represent the connections, and I think a very neutral simple 'modern' palette will translate quite well.
Trying to attach wire is a little tricky but I think it's looks quite nice... adds to the sciency clinical theme our group has...
The fabric does seem to be worrying me, it frays quite a bit after stitching and a lot of handling, and I'm not sure its as clean cut-as I would have liked.
It really depends on time, and the time free on the laser cutter, however these pieces once fully worked will have quite a different characteristc, as is what happens with handstitch! The fraying could be nicely reflective of the older historical systems of the Telephone Exchanges, and the loose wire ends that I saw when I visited MOSI (pictures a few posts back...).
