Here's a side view of the 10" wreath we did. Essentially you have the thickness in mesh of about 4 typical 10" ruffles. Re-secure the twist with a couple of turns. To layer your ruffles, open up the twist on the ruffle you just secured and lay the looped ends of the ruffles opposite to each other. Secure your ruffle in one of the twists on the wreath form. You can fluff the looped side a little, but not too much, You don't want to pull your cut edges out. One side of your ruffle will be a looped side and one an open side. You should have a folded piece of mesh that measures 10" in width.Īt the center, or 5" mark, scrunch up through the middle and hold pinched in your fingers. Fold the mesh over from right to left and keep the ends together. You mesh may be 21" but that's close enough.įind your center point which would be the 10" mark and place your finger there. Lay your fold piece on your mat or yardstick at the 1 to 20 mark. While holding that folded top edge down, fold the bottom edge up to the center and keep holding it flat as best you can. I was to the very end of the mesh roll so it didn't lay flat very well)) Just spread the mesh out best as you can on your cutting mat or use a yard stick.įold the top edge of the mesh toward the center, not rolled up, but folded. We use a 24" x 36" self healing Omnigrid Cutting Mat and a 45mm Omnigrid Rotary Cutter (these are available at Amazon and we have included our affiliate links.) The 21" wide mesh was cut into 10" lengths (same as with a 10" wide mesh). We practiced with the 21" mesh and here's what we came up with! Some mesh does ravel worse than others and you will see this in very light weight mesh with a larger weave pattern. There is always raveling with any style of mesh you use whether it be poly mesh, poly burlap, paper mesh etc. When split down the middle and then cut into 10" squares, there was just too much raveling to use in this manner. We've included our affiliate link if you are interested in purchasing. We placed a screw on the front to hold the wreath. The easel in the image is a tabletop easel available at Amazon. More of the 10" will be arriving in a few weeks. We never recommend splitting 21" wide mesh to make 10" x 10" ruffles, but we did give this a try since 21" White Snowball mesh is all we have in stock right. "Latest project that utilises a very similar technique is DMesh, a custom software made in Cinder by Dofl Yun.This image is a wreath done with the ruffle technique, but instead of using the typical 10" mesh for 10" x 10" ruffles, we used 21" wide mesh. "DMesh turns any image into a techy artowrk." - Fastcompany This allows users to control number of mesh dynamically so realistic result having more meshes or abstract one having less meshes can be made easily. Video import/export is in the works.ĭynamic Mesh Density Control (Pro version only): Import/export sequenced images automatically, making it easier for motion designers. Working with Sequenced Images (Pro version only): Where other tools only allow manual use, DMesh analyzes the image, adds points and plays with the density accordingly while reducing noise in the mesh.Ĭontrol the number of mesh points dynamically: add more for a realistic result, or subtract to make the image more abstract.ĭMesh suuport to export images as bitmaps, vectors or 3D data for maximum flexibility and scope.Īuto Point Generation is built based on computer vision technology so the results are closer to the original source and working with animation files can get more continuity between frames and less noise in the mesh. You’ll get an idea of how you use Dmesh for your project.ĭMesh provides auto-generated points, which is useful for people doing animations or larger batches of images. To build the program, a groundbreaking mix of computer vision technologies were employed to make DMesh for someone without any design background.Ĭheck user showcase at the DMesh site. It works by analyzing an image and generating a triangulation pattern for a beautiful finished product. DMesh is a custom creative application that turns images into techy artwork.
