Spherical Innovations

Still experimenting with painted grounds and printed papers, trying out some of the more successful creations in the colour scheme of the brief.  I particularly like the segmented sphere below, each 'slice' of the sphere is created from three folded circles of paper and then joined together.  I've also been using Sinamay as my unusual material, which is a woven stiff fabric used to make hats, which takes pigment print and folds well.  I particularly like the transparency of the Sinamay and I hope to use it for both the panelled and segment spheres.  Some of the initial sphere experiments have not translated so well to fabrics and other papers, so I think I'll be sticking to the two types pictured below.
