intersection

My first ideas were a small bag with a draw string, a picture frame and a message board.


This was my first attempt at making a "container" for my sketchbook. I used cardboard as the paper element to give it more support, fabric to cover the cardboard and batting, and I used ribbon as my thread element to hide the seams. The fabric glue ended up seeping through the fabric, which didn't look very nice.

My final product ended being a completely new concept. I weaved fabric and paper together to create the "container" for my sketchbook. I used thread to sew the ends together so there would be much cleaner lines. I liked the idea of weaving the materials together because it worked better with the "intersection" idea.
