Sampling samples

I finished knitting one sample that was inspired by pine cones and pine needles. I've also been working with the chicken wire and old t-shirts. I started weaving the off white t-shirt strip through a length of the chicken wire (and realized maybe I should have started out with smaller samples but oh well!). I also started another sample with the chicken wire doubled up to see how much more strength that gives it (the blue sample). I am concerned that I won't be able to get something that is supportive enough to bend into a shape that someone can lean against without a wall behind them. I will need to finish these samples to get a better idea about that. I think though that once I really build up the surface I'll be able to create some really interesting textures and patterns. I wanted to take a picture of the chicken wire samples now because I do like the shapes that are being created with the hexagonal wire and the criss-crossing cotton. I don't think that I would leave any wire like that when using the chicken wire because it is sharp but maybe if it was thin laser cut wood in hexagonal shapes that then there was weaving (and probably not t-shirts haha) it would be really beautiful. I'm also thinking coating fabrics in resin might be something to look into more.
