Fourth Production Class: Bottom piece

Putting together the two parts of the skirt by infusing them.

Almost there…

Just one more side…

Handy dandy ironing machine and table!

Ay, turned out that infusing made the skirt kinda short. What should I do? Add one more layer to the bottom!

Producing ie. infusing plastic layers for the bottom to extend skirt.

And there we go!

Problem? Looks unfinished. Well, I have all these droplets… cover the whole skirt then 😉 Good idea!

Gonna start water droplet mass production…

?Experimenting the water droplets ?

Saturday morning chill time in ADM 🙂

Paper template of water droplet!

Trying to use up leftover infused plastic to experiment…

 

Hmm… not too bad. They actually look pretty cute ^^

Let’s put them now together for an actual droplet with a hole in the middle for water! Infused the sides only and left the middle unfused using a straw:

Let’s see if it can hold water. It DOES! Water inside 🙂

Trying out another layering… can hold water too!

Using hot glue to attach the straw on the top of the droplets.

And there we go! A droplet (not leaking) with a drinkable straw!

Accomplishment: 3 droplet prototypes are ready!

So much cutting a plastic shreds to fill the trash…haha

Saturday morning well spent 🙂

Concept Formation & Rough Sketches

Initial idea of a water dress: have “dirty” water trickle down through a water filter container and become “purified” to drink and dispense it on the dress.

Brainstorming of mechanics with Naga as well as reformulating ideas.

After some “a-ha” moments, a new design and shape is conceived.

To simplify the dress as well as make it easier to wear: 3 pieces.

  1. Top piece of white cotton that goes mid-thigh
  2. Bottom piece of infused and sewed plastic as a skirt
  3. Attachable piece of tubes, water-drop shaped plastic containers, water filter diamond-shop box with the necessary mechanical parts
