Well being prototypes

This morning we presented our prototypes of our kites for well being. In 2 weeks we'll have to have the final kites made, life size and we'll test them out and see if they fly! This is mine on the right, it's supposed to serve as a looking glass. Something to focus on the clouds. The frame will be made out of wood. I'm still researching on a material for the 'windows' but obviously something transparent. I'll bring embroidery into it. Soft colours. It will only be visible up close. Ill also do some binding with the yarn i use for the embroidery and am thinking of adding tails or hanging strings at differnt lengths to add a lyrical effect...but right now it's all still pretty much up in the air.

This is Barbara's. It's a replica of herself.. a twin.

Hatla used her pancho. Colour inspiration came from a map of Eindhoven and you have the option of also turning this into a map by attatching blue, white or green strips (roads and rivers) to the pancho with velcro.

This is Mariekes..her inspiration was the protea.. The side flaps (leaves) move according to the wind..Peter used triangles.. this one flys nicely!
