Here are some pictures of my progress, it may not look like much but it will come together quickly! It's just all the small detail orientated preparations that I've been having to do first. These are some of the mock ups for the shape of my cocoon. It will like a long shaw with a hood of some sort. my plan is to have three sections that run diagonal around the body, like this one:
This was the first version of the hood, but this is not the pattern that I will be using, in the end the hood will be a series of connected hoops. This hood is too stiff and structured, and reminds me too much of an astronaut! It also does not connect well with the body of the piece.
To make up the body of the piece I am folding long strips of wax paper to look the the one below:
Here they are compressed, they sort of look like butterflies!
These are in the folding process. Look up Origami Tessellations for some amazing art using similar techniques!
In the end its a lot of work and is kind of slow but I'm confident the result is going to be awesome!
