For my project so far I went through a few different phases of deciding what the shape of my hanging light fixture/chandelier would look like. I experimented with hanging small flowers made from coffee filters to a small piece of cardboard using some conductive thread and LEDs as a test. I wanted to see what [...]
Taking the idea of a felted 3d landscape, I decided to incorporate the capacitive sensor and wireless xbee connection to the felted piece, and use Processing to translate the received data into sound. Capacitive Sensor: Wireless Sensing: Arduino FIO + XBee Tests:
Final Project Update I plan to do a string sculpture or sculptures for my final project.. Below are images of where I am thus far… I have made a 6″ x 6″ structure in which to make string sculptures, and another large one that is approx. 24″ x 12″. I have lost some photos I [...]

The first iteration of the Extension Rock was completed with 2 100′ lengths of Nylon Braided roap. The weaving pattern was a standard underover warp and weft procuding what some call the Bumble Bee Cover. At first, the weave was extremely taught and didn’t allow for the desired ergonomic depression depression. After we had some [...]
Tomorrow, I will begining working on cutting the fabric for my final project. To date, I have accomplished the following: 1. Generated and modified the vornoi diagram which will be used for the upper part of the dress: 2. Created an adobe illustrator file of the scallops that will also need to be lasercut Initially [...]
