‘Baking’ the Moulds

Method

'Set’ paper into folded form by squashing flat between weights. Moulds were completely unfolded to reveal an entirely flat surface. (This was so the fabric would be spread evenly and not bunch to one side.) 

Lay the digitally printed fabric on top of the first paper mould, overlaying the other flattened paper mould on top. 

‘Sandwiched’ fabric in between the two moulds.

Using our hands and starting from one edge, we carefully swept the mould together to fold back into it’s original form, (like closing a fan shut) with the fabric ‘sandwiched’ in between the creases when fully folded. (See: Above 3rd, 5th image)

Once fully folded, elastic tied down the entire length to keep everything secure. Moulds were then rolled up to fit in the oven. 

Oven preheated for 20 min.

Moulds placed in oven. Oven temperature set to 180 degrees Celsius (hottest temp moulds can reach before burning) and a timer for 13-15 mins each (max amount of time).

Once out of the oven, moulds were pulled apart to reveal the ‘baked’ fabric underneath. This fabric was flattened for another 2-3 days before application to ensure the folds were kept.

Creating solutions

Initially we were stuck on how to fit huge moulds into a tiny oven. I suggested employing Reidko Sudo’s technique with her her Miura Ori Material- choosing to roll up the mould like a snail and fit it horizontally. (See: 2nd Image) 

Origami Textiles- Reiko Sudo: see later post. 

A big issue was that the paper was much thinner than the fabric, so it was difficult trying to manoeuvre the fabric to stay centred and aligned with the mould. As we used normal paper, there were many tears from creases- next time, I would 100% ensure there are no flaws in the moulds whatsoever and use proper pleater’s cardboard. 

This will ensure a polished final material. Many areas of the fabric were not successfully sandwiched, which meant no folds in these areas. (Flat surface). I would also create 4 moulds to prevent browning/tearing.

Flabby flab flab.

The very last thing to finish (an hour before deadline) were the fabulous flabs, which Kat excellently hand sewed. I am really please with how they turned out. I think they really tie the whole costume together and emphasise our goals of being fleshy and off putting. I love how they bounce around, adding so much character and appeal during performance. They also do a good job of hiding the performers have while still keeping it safe and easy for the person to see out.

The mini neopixels finally arrived after their massive delay which means we can now move onto making a new circuit. We have 200 mini neopixels which is really good, its definitely better to have more than less. This allows us to be flexible with how many neopixels we want on the top and bottom. Claud measured the distance from every single neopixel with 2mm to spare so that we could snip the wires and solder them onto the neopixels. We’ve tested the mini neopixel circuit and amazingly despite their small size, they still shine as bright as the other neopixels we were using.
