Cut out a bunch of 14x7.5 hexes to see if I liked the shape better. I do, but I’m concerned they’re less stable? Nothing is really stable at .05” thick…. but like a house of cards I tried to curve the base (that definitely wasn’t wide enough yet) and the whole thing came tumbling over…. Obviously I need to work out the base, but I think for the time being a channel is going to be the easiest way to do rapid prototyping to see if things are structurally sound.
I’m also tempted to try doing rows of elongated intermixed with the 7” hexes to see. Or perhaps they get smaller as it gets taller might create an interesting illusion- makes me think of Martin Puryear’s ladders….
I confirmed that there are a bunch of felt samples coming from Filzfelt… free of charge! The 8mm and 10mm will be small samples, but I think the 5mm sample will be large enough for me to see if they can maintain their shape while stacking.
Will also prototype a lenticular concept with the 1,000 coffee stir sticks I have to see if that’s interesting before I go full scale on that. Likely a 1:24 scale.
Not my best photography…. but I prefer this to the smaller ones I think….
