Nets and 3D Leather Shapes



One line of enquiry that I wanted to explore was 3D embellishments for my samples. I started to look at different nets for making paper shapes with to give me ideas on how to create 3D leather shapes. The most interesting one I found was for a Hexagrammic pyramid. I then took this net to the laser cutter and used it to cut and score it into leather pieces. I was very pleased with the result, even the flat nets are interesting. Upon glueing them together I found that the thick nature of the fabric made it difficult and the shapes did not come out as sharp and clear as I wanted them to. Maybe I'll come back to these later on...
