I have been exploring piping as a technique using
different materials as the cord and different fabrics to sandwich them inside. I
have tried different sized pvc tubes, thick braided rope, silicone tube, rubber
hose and elastic, and sandwiched them in between felt, pvc coated fabric, pvc coated
tarpaulin and spacer fabric. The process of stitching in straight lines, back and
forth is rhythmic and repetitive. The texture of the pieces are also rhythmic
and are very tactile. These surfaces could be used for a variety of
applications such as clothing or surfaces for interiors. The tactile element
makes them therapeutic and would be good on the arm of a chair to be used as a
stress reliever.
