A Transformer-Robot-Dinosaur who makes art.

I'm a Fibre Major student at OCAD in Toronto.

I make things. This is a process blog/art journal of things I make, things that inspire me, and things that I like.

My ongoing letter project:

My bow tie production line:

DFTBA
whoa, cool
infinitely inspiring

Tonight’s mission: ACCOMPLISHED.

I took one of my monsters ideas/drawings, and started to give it life (while conveniently watching Fantastic Mr Fox).
After consulting the wearable form teacher at school the best way to approach a pattern, I made some calculations and drew it out on good ol’ cross section graph paper.  Then I traced the piece on muslin (first time working with it!), marking where to sew to, etc. 
Then: the sewing! 
With this model I hemmed the tentacles, but with future iterations I’ll be making two of these: one for the exterior and one for the interior.  I still have to figure out where the eyes would be best placed, but for now I’m calling it a night.
Also, I need to switch to a better camera for documentation.  STAT.
