lazzzzer cutting

this is a colour representation of what my laser cut CAD project was supposed to look like (and will look like eventually, i'm determined to make it work). i used leather (shown by the burgundy) and because the design was so detailed, it shrivelled it up, so next time im going to use plexiglass which will be spray painted burgundy on the back so itll look like its sandblasted. the lighter, sandy colour is meant to represent woodgrain, and the darker brown represents the woodgrain that was engraved into.
ill post a before and after picture of the final product once i get a chance to get to the industrail design building and have it re-cut

four out of ten

here are four ties i made taken from a collection of ten called innards. they are white, silk habotai ties dyed with pro chemical dyes, some mixed with chemical water, others mixed with a more solid sodium alginate. the veiny effect was done using potato dextrin, the bones were made using white, opaque extender and the vein accents were done using black fabric surface paint.
