The craftCO meeting this morning was helpful, dispite only being a small meeting, it has made me realise, after actually discussing it aloud, that my cork coasters that I have laser cut are more suitable and I really must change my plans for those. The cork has burnt, it smells and the black markings are rubbing off. I could try to solve this problem by cleaning it up or hand cutting which won't necessarily remove the smell and all might be so time consuming, meaning not worth the money in the long run (if these are going to be sold). I am thinking that wood would be a better material to work with further as this also invites more questions on how it has been printed on (sublimation printing) I will continue to create, design and make next week after the assessment work has been handed in.
I was unsure how to display my designs, in terms of repeat and scale, as well as how I would portray my ideas further of negative space in the garments. I played around quickly with the space where I applied my design, changing the scale etc as a test. I prefer the scale larger but with other areas of the garment with a different scale of the same print on it too.
