The red 'escape' measures 5cms by 2cms:
And another interesting use with the transparent plastic is that you can have stitches beneath it, worked directly onto the background fabric, which still show through: this way, part of the background can be given a 'shine' (I think it looks a little like the shadow on the 'A'is underwater). Solid metal threads obviously do not have this potential. And in the right direct light, the plastic really shines, 'illuminating' it.
Blue stitched area 2.5cm by 2.3cms:
The next one was worked onto cotton organza (which is the most transparent fabric I could find). Unfortunately, unlike the organdie I've been sticking to as of late, it's just too fine for this sort of stitch: the slightest pull, the slightest over-tensioning of the stitch as it's worked, and the organza will just rip. I got away with it here due to excessive patience but practically, it could 'run' and spoil far too easily.
But feeling inspired by my persistently patient approach to the sample above, I took an A4 plastic wallet, chopped a section out and started stitching onto that too. It spells out 'nothing' but didn't especially need to be done to completion:
There's some even stranger stuff following shortly in another post.
bloody good technique, go for graphic studios
ReplyDeleteThese are really cool experiments. I love how the tubing brings modernity (and a bit of fetishism) to an ancient technique. Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteWow- so edgy and way cool. Love them!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....a bit of fetishism you say? That's very interesting, I had thought that myself but didn't want to make it too overt....
ReplyDeletethis looks really interesting, I'd never have thought of this
ReplyDeleteDo not compromise on any issue. Get exactly what you want. Engineers at Keller Products are in a position to make sure that the plastic tubes that will be delivered at the end of the day conform to the major and minor details that you will stipulate before the start of the project.
ReplyDeleteIndustry standards observed
All the necessary industry standards are usually observed during the manufacture of hollow profiles. A customer should expect to get something that is safe for use.
• There are government and industry standards that govern the production of plastic tubing.
There is more than one type of plastic tubes. Each variety is suitable for a particular application. One needs to analyze the pros and cons of each make before making a decision.
plastic tubes from Keller Products Inc. are made with all customizations that you required. We assess the needs of our clients and the purposes for which the plastic tubing is required before manufacturing unique products that will survive through their required use. For instance for underground installed water supply plastic tubing we provide plastic tubes that are laced with anti-microbial properties to prevent damage from natural elements such as pathogens. Our customized plastic tubing is also manufactured and designed with custom branding. Our tubes are also damage resistant thus no plastic residue is released into the environment and even then we make our tubing from bio-degradable plastic that is environmentally safe.
