3D Lace Molding

Here is the in-progress shot of the dimensional lace. The process includes work from Dr. Pastore's class on Green Materials, along with some innovations of my own. I am using mill ends of a glass fiber tri-weave fabric which is very open. I have used my three layer epoxy system to coat the fabric strands and then sandwiched them between plastic films to create the form. Crumpled newsprint provides a counter pressure in areas needing depression rather than protrusion. The end result will be de-molded in 12 hours. I will be able to determine if this expreiment will be of value at that time.
