Morphing Canvas
Add color on your wall!
Supplies:
- 1m x 1m canvas (you can make it smaller... or bigger)
- sheets of paper
- 1m30 x 1m30 cotton fabric (black to brighten the colors)
- glue
The Background
Staple your fabric onto the canvas (remember to staple on the back of the canvas if you don’t want to see the staples on the sides…)
The Tiles
I printed them on Canson paper for its good resistance to glue.
I used Illustrator for the morphing and Photoshop to choose the gradient of each color.
All my forms are ready, there are 100 …
The Sticking
The trouble with geometric forms is that it’s ugly when it’s not straight.
So I took the laser level, which has the good idea to have a horizontal line and a vertical line.
If you don’t have this tool, put a pin every 10 cm around the frame.
Use a thread to connect them 2 by 2 and you get a regular grid.
Backstage
Some hazardous constructions to have my laser level at the correct height (it’s the little box at the top of the pile…)
My failures : I wanted to make the gradient with paint, but except the primary colors, impossible to get nice secondary colors (due to non really miscible paints).
