It&#8217;s easy with foam core and hot glue, but now I&#8217;m thinking of the wood. Hot glue is not going to cut it. I sort of worked out this thing with twine&#8230;. I don&#8217;t know. Looks ugly to me. The difficulty is the fact that the pieces need to attach both vertically <strong>and<\/strong> horizontally. It&#8217;s the side-by-side stuff that screws everything up.<\/p>\n<p>My next activity is to brainstorm more on the binding aspect. I&#8217;m going to try researching samurai costumes, since that&#8217;s what everyone says my prototype reminds them of, and also Hussein Chalayan&#8217;s work. I&#8217;ll also just try sketching out a few ideas and working more with twine and the pieces of wood. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I&#8217;m now researching wood, wood stains, and bindings.
