Wooden Samples

Since laser cutting my wooden pieces, I have been trying to create structures and fabrics with them. This has presented many problems such as attachment methods. I decided that just simply glueing these pieces to a fabric is not working and is also too similar to Elisa Strozyk's 'wooden textiles'. Therefore I cut more pieces with holes in each corner in order to attach them together without a backing fabric. I tried using hoops but these were too obvious and seemed to take over the aesthetics of the sample. I eventually found that the best way to attach the pieces was sewing them together with invisible thread. However, even after finding a way to attach them together, I don't feel that the wood works aesthetically with my material and colour palette, therefore I won't be using it again and I will try to use more perspex and try to find other fabrics which fit the aesthetic I am trying to create.
