Stella - CTC PROJECT 9 - a mixture of craft bringing something new by Stella Therond https://padlet.com/stella516040ocaacuk1/wo4fw3msochdw4ws With the goal to gather valuable feedback from my OCA peers. There are two main themes running through my samples - weaver bird nesting and the comfort of smushy - feeling at home en-us 2022-10-20 10:56:48 UTC 2022-10-26 09:17:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Sample One stella516040ocaacuk1 https://padlet.com/stella516040ocaacuk1/wo4fw3msochdw4ws/wish/2348834679 2022-10-20 11:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stella516040ocaacuk1/wo4fw3msochdw4ws/wish/2348834679 Sample One stella516040ocaacuk1 https://padlet.com/stella516040ocaacuk1/wo4fw3msochdw4ws/wish/2348835267 I realised that the pads were too far apart to create the warmth I wanted in my original sample so I stapled the fabric in a pleat and was much happier.
This is a natural progression from the previous sample and I find it more developed and with potential. I like it for its squishy and tactile textures and it has a lot of symbolism in the construction 
(Africa as the birth place of the human race and the comfort of this being like a bed etc also the warmth of this item and the heat of the country)
What upon looking at it does it conjure up for you?

Do you think that the transparent plastic adds to the ideas of the problem of rubbish and recycling?
Would the ambition of this object be better served if it was denser and more layer upon?

What do you find interesting, if anything, in this piece.?

How important do you think the colours of the piece are to the final example and would scale change make it more interesting?]]> 2022-10-20 11:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stella516040ocaacuk1/wo4fw3msochdw4ws/wish/2348857260
