Snaps make things 3D :)

After yesterday's misguided straw and wire exercise, I have returned to my besties, the triangulated muslin. As per previous suggestions, I have added some snaps in strategic places to get an idea of what kinds of weird shapes I could get, and I am quite pleased with the result. I only have two of these panels, though, so maybe I'll have to make a bunch more this weekend. I have to think about how to make these without the cardboard. Originally, i had envisioned making the "skeleton" of the boning that corsets have, but I haven't been able to find this stuff yet, so I might have to delve into the doldrums of fashion district this weekend...
