ODD MATTER

Normally the embroidery machine stays quite two dimensional, by adding a stuffing material - in this case foam - it creates new dimensions. I was wondering if I could regulate the shapes and heights of the foam.

Like I said: foam is normally used as a filling. In the following experiments I show how foam can be used as the main material. Using it without covering.

By leaving a hole at the top and removing the foam (which I tried but unfortunately failed) It was possible to fill a little part with plaster.

Intentionally I want to make molds with the embroidery machine.
