6. Textile as Scaffold#

Inspirational projects#

Weekly task#

1. Create a textile medium for the crystal growth

2. Fabric mold to shape concreate form

What I have done ?#

1. Crystal growth on fabric

2. Mold from fabric

What is crystallization ?#

Crystallization is a state of change from liquid to solid form. the crystallization process is used to obtain a pure solid substance from liquid form. It is the way that atoms gather to make highly connected groups.

Procedure#

• Solvent and solute selection

First, I study on the how crystal grow..? or what happens during crystallization ? I took a cotton fabric and made a shape like necklace. From, Here and here i studied about crystallization.

• Dissolving the solute in solvent

I took 250gm alum and 550ml hot water and mix (stir) it .

• Filtration of hot solution

Put the soultion 12 hours to grow crystal on fabric.

• Crystallization process

The crystallization process started on fabric.

• Crystallization of alum (done😊)

Yee....💃 Finally my crystal on fabric done..

Sustain Fashion Earrings🤩#

Cryastal on fabric is very inetersting learning process for me. After understanding all the process of crystallization I made ear rings from waste cloth. I cut fabric and make it round shape which is look like a thread. I tried to make them with same weight for both ears with making equal alum solution.

Fabric formwork#

Project No.1#

For this assignment, I wanted to make something with waste fabrics. So, first I decided idea and structure for this project. And make mold for this in solid works with the help of shubham.

Process#

• Prepare mold.

I make this mold on solid works.

• Laser cut the mold parts.

• Assemble part and mold ready.

• Cut the fabric shape.

• Mix fabric in concrete mixture.

• Put fabric on mold.

• Let it dry.

• Spray water with spray bottle.

• Remove it from mold.

• It’s ready.

Experiment#

I create this formwork just to experiment with concreate. I took polyester fabric and cut it with circle shape. And spread vaseline on that plastic. On the other side I took some concrete and mix it with water. I spread that mixture to all over the fabric. Pick up that fabric and put it on any shape pot. After one night I remove that plastic. It’s ready....

Wooden Textile#

I got inspire to do this wood textile by work on fabtextile. And I got some link in lecture related to wood textile this and this. For this I wanted 1 or 1.5 mm thikness wood but I didn’t get exact material . So,I took 1.95mm MDF do wooden textile. I made bracelet and for another wooden textile .I took some waste treads and spread them on mdf wood and brush with wood finishing. I create some 2d design on corel draw. Laser cut with power 35 and Speed 38.

Process to make wooden textile

• Cut your fabrics and wood in nearly the same size.
• Brush one side of the wood with the woodglue and put it on the fabric.

• Now, let it dry till both joining.

• Make a 2d design in Corel Draw.

• Import in RD works and give speed 38 and power 35.

• Laser cut that piece.

• Yee..it’s done .
