I have done Plaiting in both textiles & 3D. Textiles for experimentation & 3D to create structures for things such as bridges. I have done some research into plaiting (or braiding as its sometimes known as).
I found out that plaiting is used a lot more often then i realised. Not only is it used in hairstyles but used in ropes, thatching roofs, furniture, baskets & cables making them stronger. It is also used in making clothes - clothes such as hats. Straw Hats for example.
Looking at straw, i also came across weaving. I quickly noticed that my washing basket is made from weaving of a straw-like material. This is something i could also use in my work
This is my college blog. It will consist of things i do, find interesting and things which relate to Graphics. Images included. I will be looking at different artists work and relating it to my own work. Enjoy my blog and make sure you feed the fish!
