VEILS + CUT OUTS

It was mentioned in my feedback from the previous project that I should begin to consider creating my own netting to build upon. After a few futile attempts of knotting systems, I began to consider the idea of the cut out. Creating the netting myself, by leaving a skeleton of the original fabric. By doing this by hand I think it does give it an interesting quality but when trying to get more of a regimented pattern, it became alot more time consuming and messy, hinting for a bit more refinement.

From this I came to the decision that I should use the laser cutter, a much quicker (once the file was prepared) and precise process. I do still value the initial hand cuts and think they have potential but the laser cuts have produced an excting surface to build upon. Especially the one on the smaller scale, where it has seemingly been cut so close together the fabric has slightly melted and it has resulted in a very similar quality to netting. Giving a deceiving strength to a fabric that was initially relaxed.
