After 3D printing my hexagrammic pyramid embellishments I realised that they needed to be developed and covered in some way. I printed more in various sizes and I also printed them with holes through the top so that I could sew them together and to my samples. I initially had problems with this as the holes were to close to the edge at first however this was resolved fairly quickly by re-placing the holes.
I tried a few different ways of covering the pieces. The first attempt was covering them with fluorescent thread. However because of the form of the pieces the thread did not stick properly and ended up looking messy. Therefore I decided to spray paint them in enamel. After deciding to add fluorescent orange to my colour palette I thought it would be fitting to spray them in that colour. I also sprayed some in white to give contrast. I am very pleased with the outcome and will continue to use them in my samples. I would like to carry on using this method into unit x and experimenting with different shapes and uses for the pieces.
