Resolve my idea of living joints. Through research, experimentation and a ton of trial and error I have learned that depending on my pattern, my material will bend in a certain linear way depending on my design. With this is mind, I was able to find a pattern that has no designated direction of bend, it can form to any direction.
It is aesthetically pleasing on its own, lays flat but incredibly vulnerable to taking shape. I look forward to manipulating the material and taking advantage of its malleable nature.
I am having trouble creating the settings to cut this material. The lines are so close together and the piece is so small, that if I run the machine too hot it burns and if I run it too cool it doesn't piece all the way through. I am experimenting with speeds to compensate.
Tried to experiment with enlarging the pattern without changing the thickness of the material. Good learning experience, learned I need to keep the pattern as tight as possible if I want it to behave the way I want.
